*WARNING* This introduce a minor API break as awful.tag.setscreen
arguments are now swapped for consistency
This allow to introduce logic for each properties and improve
awful.tag.add and execute logic when setting properties.
The code here doesn't always work, so it's best to just don't mess with
awesome.version, but return it directly.

The code doesn't check the type of any of the values that it converts. However,
string elements are silently skipped if they cannot be converted.
The proper fix would be to make this code check types. For now, it will be ok to
"convert" non-strings to an empty string.

Since some commits, surface.load_uncached() handles errors itself and thus we
don't have to print an error message here any more.

Previously, a Lua error was thrown when loading a file failed. Most callers are
not prepared for this and the result is less than optimal.
This commit makes the functions print the errors and return nil instead. For
callers that want to handle errors themselves, "_silent" variants of the
functions are introduced which just return errors to the caller.

The new widget layout code was created because we needed to support partial
redraws (only redraw the parts that were changed). Thanks to this, the code also
skips drawing widgets of size 0x0. Thus, when the systray becomes empty, it's
:draw() callback isn't invoked and thus our systray container window stays
visible.
Fix this by making the C code unconditionally hide the systray when it becomes
empty. There's nothing to display anyway.

When a client is unmanaged, we know emit mouse::leave on its titlebar before the
client object is invalidated, so that Lua can still work with it. Before, this
event was emitted only when we got a LeaveNotify from the X11 server.

When there are multiple X11 screens (i.e. :0.0 and :0.1) for zaphod mode
style X setups, this triggers a refresh of focus when the instance
running on a particular root receives the mouse

luaA_warn() prints a Lua backtrace and thus generates more useful output. warn()
should only be used in awesome-internal places (e.g. receiving an error from the
X11 server).

Since commit ea94f7f7e6, the code has a preferred icon size and it tries to
find the closest matching icon. However, the default size of 0 and thus this
never returned any icon at all (no icon matches better than an icon of size
0x0).
Fix this by saying "every icon is better than no icon at all".

These fields were only ever written to since commit 19137a55c3.
This commit removes the fields and the code that sets them.

In commit 532ec0cd, we started grabbing keys on the client window directly
instead of its parent window (the frame window). This commit fixes one place
which was overlooked back then.

Some words about X11 event handling: Every X11 client can select input on any
window. For this, inside the X11 server each window has for each client a
bitmask for the kind of events that this client is interested in. When a mouse
button is pressed inside of a window, a corresponding event is generated for
that window and sent to all X11 clients which asked for
XCB_EVENT_MASK_BUTTON_PRESS. When no client is interested in this event, the
event is propagated to the parent window and the same procedure is done again
here. This continues up until the root window is reached.
Some words about the event masks that awesome uses: For clients, we ask for
button press events on the frame window that we reparent the client window into
so that we get any kind of press on the titlebar (and also events inside of the
client window if the client itself doesn't care for click events?). We are also
interested in button presses / releases on the root window. However, before this
commit, we didn't actually ask for button events on drawins (e.g. the wibox).
This worked fine, because no one asked for these events and the event propagated
to the root window where it was then sent to awesome.
However, newer Qt versions do something weird and the above broke. I don't
actually know what is going on. I know about the above propagation rules, but
looking at protocol traces of what Qt does, awesome should still get the button
events. During startup, Qt asks for button events on its own windows. After a
hotplug event, it asks the same again, but now also includes the root window.
So... how can Qt asking for button events on the root window cause awesome not
to get them? I have no idea.
(And yes, I guess that Qt asking for mouse events on the root window is a bug,
but I have no idea how exactly this happens nor about any other side effects of
it).
This commit makes us ask for button events on our drawins so that the server
will send them to us. This is the right thing to do anyway and it was reported
to have some positive effects.

I didn't (and couldn't) actually test this in any way, but hopefully this makes
it easier to edit awesome's source without vim.

Having many arguments can easily get confusing and hard to understand. This
commit uses a table instead so that we have names that identify what each
callback does.

This adds functions for getting directories according to the XDG base dir
specification. This might be useful in general.
This also adds a function for getting the cache dir, because I like an explicit
function call more than something which "switches" based on a string argument.
Better error messages if you mis-type something. :-)
Finally, this adds a function for getting the directory containing the rc.lua
file. Sadly, awful.util.getdir("config") did not actually do that. See #218.

Without this fix `wibox.widget.textbox` ignores current theme font
setting and resets it to the initial one.
It becomes handy when the initial theme is tweaked during runtime, ie.
in `rc.lua`. Other AwesomeWM components like `awful` (taglist,
tasklist, menu) are aware and do respect the actual theme settings.

Lua will remove objects as values from a weak table before these objects are
finalized, but as values only in the next garbage collection cycle after the
object was finalized. Up to now, gears.object uses a table with weak keys so
that :disconnect_signal() works. This means that a signal can still call methods
which were already considered garbage by the garbage collector and thus can use
userdata from the C side which was already finalized. Crashes and other bugs
result.
This commit changes the code so that the function is also a value in the weak
table. Thus, the GC will remove the entry before the object is finalized.
Special magic is needed for Lua 5.1, because there only userdata has the
behavior that we want while we have a function. We do some magic with function
environments to make this work...
