This allow to spawn something, then apply some properties or rules when
the client show up ("manage").
This commit add:
* "startup_id" property for all clients object (immutable, can be nil)
* Second return value to awful.util.spawn() with the startup_id
* Update the documentation
Example:
local wait_for_it = {}
local pid,snid = awful.util.spawn("urxvtc")
wait_for_it[snid] = {ontop=true,sticky=false,
tag = awful.tag.gettags(mouse.screen)[1] }
client.connect_signal("manage", function (c, startup)
if c.startup_id and wait_for_it[c.startup_id] then
for k,v in pairs(wait_for_it[c.startup_id]) do
c[k] = v
end
if wait_for_it[c.startup_id].tag then
c:tags({wait_for_it[c.startup_id].tag})
end
end
end)

There isn't much of a point in doing all the GetGeometry requests in an extra
run through the list. This commit merges it into the previous loop through all
windows.
This means that we now request some information during startup that we never
actually need, but I can live with that just fine.

This helps in cases where you have accidentally cloned an entry from
`layouts`.
Previously, no current index would be found and the function would
silently fail.

This allows for having clones of a table, where its entries are still
references to the original values.
This is useful for copying a "default props" table, where you want to
keep the reference to entries like `awful.layout.suit.tile`.

Added set_expand function with options of "none" "outside" or "inside" modes.
The "inside" mode is the default and will result in the original behavior. The
main benefit is being able to actually center a widget in the available space
with options of how to draw the outside widgets (expand to take the space,
or not.) Further functionality can be had by ommiting one of the outside
widgets. Set default layout mode in the constructor.
Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in>
This changes the align layout fit function so that align:fit will not return
more space than is actually needed by its sub-widgets. Changes to align:draw
were also required so that any widget assigned to the middle slot will expand
to fill the remaining space.

Instead, use stack_client_push and emit the `request::activate` signal
from awful.rules.apply, if the client gets focus.

Since commit 3c40d6b, the passed in argument is decomposed into an array of
strings before the sn-related code runs. This means we already know argv[0] and
thus we don't need the code here that tries to figure it out again.
Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in>
Previously, any not-string-convertible entry in the array argument would result
in lua_tostring() returning NULL which g_strdup() would pass through. Thus, we
would end up with a NULL entry in an array whose end is marked with a NULL
entry. This mainly means that we had a memory leak.
Fix this by actually verifying that we only have strings in the table that we
are looking at.

When e.g. calling awesome.spawn({}), our argv array would be empty, so just a
pointer to a NULL pointer that marks the end of the array.
Since startup notification was enabled, this would then try to figure out the
name of the started binary. This would immediately dereference a NULL pointer
and crash.

Pressing CTRL+DELETE removes the visible history entry, if any, then moves to the next history entry (like pressing DOWN would do).
If the last history entry is removed the previous one is shown in the prompt (like pressing UP would do).
CTRL+DELETE works on history entries only: i.e. it has no effect on a command entered but not executed yet.
To implement above behaviour I added saving history table to file on Escape key press.

Restoring a previous history entry changes the tag history (in the
meaning of currently selected tags), and therefore should also emit the
tag::history::update signal.
A use case might be to automatically hide tags with no clients on them.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Hahler <git@thequod.de>
Instead of having the C code mess with which tags are selected, we now emit a
signal on the tag that says that something requested it to be selected. Lua can
then handle this by only switching tags on the correct monitor and by updating
the focus history correctly.

This commits adds awesome.register_xproperty(). This allows lua code to register
arbitrary X11 properties with awesome which will then watch these properties.
Whenever such a property is changed on a client or drawin, we will emit the
xproperty::name signal.
This also adds window:get_xproperty(name) and window:set_xproperty(name, value)
which allows to mess with properties.

Ever since commit 6b2e4352b (from 2010!), awesome.spawn() doesn't have a screen

First, we reset the signal handler back to the default one when a fatal signal
is received. This should make sure that we never get into an endless loop where
the signal handler causes the signal to happen again.
Then this commit also makes awesome print a backtrace on more signals than
before. Crashing with a backtrace is always better than without. ;-)

This commit makes awesome measure how long all the event handling takes. That
is, this measure the time between waking up from poll and going to sleep again.
If that time is above 0.1 seconds, we print a warning and increase the limit for
this warning to the last duration to avoid flooding messages.
This should help figuring out cases were people do stupid things in their
config, like synchronously contacting an IMAP server and getting the number of
unread mails.

This reverts commit 20afb26080.
The commit caused endless loops with tracebacks like this (shortened):
lib/awful/ewmh.lua.in:122: in function <lib/awful/ewmh.lua.in:117>
[C]: in function 'geometry'
lib/awful/ewmh.lua.in:122: in function <lib/awful/ewmh.lua.in:117>
[C]: in function 'geometry'
lib/awful/ewmh.lua.in:122: in function <lib/awful/ewmh.lua.in:117>
[C]: in function 'geometry'
Turns out that my rant about "we can't query the pixmap's values" was wrong.
This commit makes awesome use a GetGeometry request to get the properties of the
(old) root window's back pixmap.
This also converts code to p_delete() instead of free() for consistency. Bad me
for doing multiple things in one commit...

When a client's geometry changes (and I consider the border width to be part of
the geometry here) and that client is one of fullscreen or
maximized_{horizontally,vertically}, make sure that the geometry as specified by
the state is still obeyed.
This also (accidentally) fixes things when a client gets moved to another
screen!

Due to a copy&paste error, maximized_vertical and maximized_horizontal were
handled the same. Of course, vertical and horizontal aren't the same direction.

When we receive a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW request on the root window, we used to just
focus and raise the window. This didn't do much for clients which are on
non-selected tags.
Thus, this commit makes awesome emit request::activate on the client instead.
This is used in awful.ewmh to implement the old behavior again, but with
additionally marking the client as urgent if it isn't visible.
People who don't like this behavior can use client.disconnect_signal to disable
this behavior again. To make this really possible, awful.ewmh becomes a
"non-nil" module.

We detect other WMs when we fail to request SubstructureRedirect on the root
window. Previously, the code used an unchecked request and then tried to
cleverly detect if an error occurred. This isn't needed.
Instead, we now use a checked request and use xcb_request_check() to see if any
errors were generated. This also gets rid of a round-trip to the server (one is
still implicitly done by xcb_request_check()).

This makes the drawable paint the wallpaper in the background
(i.e. pseudo transparency) only if there is not a composite manager running,
as reported by the value of awesome.composite_manager_running.
In other words: drawables can now make use of true transparency.

The default value for the second argument to :find() is 1, so nothing is changed
here. The third arguments disables pattern matching and instead gets us literal
interpretation of strings. This means that pattern characters like e.g. [, ] and
. don't get interpreted.

When an area is split in two, for example horizontally, one of the windows
should have height math.floor(previous height / 2) and the other
math.ceil(previous height / 2), to be certain that no gaps are left between the
windows.
For instance, if the first window has height h and the second window has height
math.floor(h / 2), the height of the third window should be math.ceil(h / 2)
instead of the same as for the second window.
So to compute the size of window n + 1 it’s necessary to remember the size of
window n - 1 as well as that of window n.
