There seem to be a little race condition (either in my layout code or
elsewhere) when playing with multiple screens. As most properties do
not depend on the tag, there is no point in returning early anyway.
Instead of true/false `merge` can be a callback now, which allows for
more dynamic handling of the client not being visible, e.g. moving it to
the current tag, instead of merging.
This makes awful.tooltip create its tooltip lazily when it is first needed
instead of immediately when the tooltip is created.

Since commit b2aaefd095, we correctly handle window gravities when
the border width of a client changes. Since most windows out there have a
NorthWest gravity, this means that most windows do not have this problem.
However, e.g. mplayer uses gravity "Static" and this causes this issue (any
gravity other than NorthWest will do).
This affects the fullscreen handling in awful.ewmh. The code has to set the
border width before it changes a client's geometry so that the move when the
border width changes doesn't matter.
No new integration test for this since I didn't find anything usable with a
non-NorthWest gravity. A test would be easy to write, just test if `c.fullscreen
= true ; c.fullscreen = false` restores the previous window geometry.

This module is partly broken since 2009 (the way to use it that is mentioned in

finder.find"). Since no one really noticed, this module is apparently not used
much.
When someone wants to still use this, they are free to copy this to their own

Any awful.titlebar.widget.button widget (e.g. floatingbutton or closebutton)
decides on the currently visible symbol based on several factors. One of them is
"is the client currently focused?" and thus the button has to be updated when
the client is focused/unfocused.
The way the code did this was to use client.connect_signal("focus", f) and
client.connect_signal("unfocus", f). However, these signals are never
disconnected and kept alive forever. The callback function had a strong
reference to the client (as an upvalue) and thus this also prevented the client
from being garbage collected.
Fix this by using c:connect_signal("focus/unfocis", f) instead. These kind of
signals are only kept alive by the client object and don't prevent it from being
garbage collected.
This fixes the new test that the previous commit added.

Go around a limitation of the lua language spec. The return value
of this method guaranteed `ipairs()` correctness.
Please note that both the official Lua and Luajit implementation
provide a sparse table compatible `ipairs()` and __len implementation
by default.
It is necessary to have it beforehand when creating layout objects
for unselected layouts.
In the current layout system, there is no layout object, but to allow
tabs and dynamic tagging features like ion3, layouts cannot be stateless.
Before, it was the caller job to make sure the client wasn't floating.
This limitation is unecessary. awful.client.idx now return nil instead
of an error. awful.rules setting the master width factor are now
foolproof.
This allow the most basic kind of stateful layouts to be created.
It is now possible to have layout instances instead of global
stateless layout arrange functions.
This allow layout "arrange" to be called less often and react on
the cause of the change itself rather than it's consequences
(usually, the "focus" signal).
Previously, the layout were re-arranged everytime the focus changed.
Now, with "raised" and "lowered", it require less "arrange".
"swapped" allow smarted layouts. Currently, swapped cause a full
re-arrange. It re-read the "index" list from scratch and create
a "new" layout. With "swapped", incremental layout changes are
possible.

I have no idea why this needs collectgarbage() to be called twice.
On the other hand, I can explain the change in tooltip.lua. Lua 5.2 introduced
"ephermeron tables". This means that in the following sitation, lua 5.2 can
collect the entry from the table, while 5.1 keeps the entry alive, because the
table has a strong reference to the value and that in turn has a strong
reference to the key:
t = setmetatable({}, { __mode = "k"})
do
local k = {}
t[k] = function() print(k) end
end
collectgarbage("collect")
print(next(t, nil))

Instead of connecting to the needed tag-update-signal again for every layoutbox,
this now just creates a single connection and updates all layoutboxes from here.
A new weak table is used to find the layoutboxes from these callbacks.
Additionally, layoutboxes are now per-screen unique. So even if you try to
create three layoutboxes for screen 1, the code will now always return the same
instance.
This kind-of fixes the leak test for layoutboxes. The problem is that the
default config also creates a layoutbox and adds it to a wibox. Since this is
now the same layoutbox, the test still fails. Just removing the layoutbox-part
from the default config makes this problem go away.

When a client is not visible, this would adjust its stacking order
still.
This also addresses https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/472,
because it raises unminimized clients after they got focused.
This is used by `tooltip.place` then to tie the tooltip to the screen of
the mouse. Without this, a tooltip from the tasklist might get moved to
the screen above the tasklist, if it gets considered to be on that
screen given its coordinates.

so that the keyboardlayout widget can handles all possible patterns
returned by awesome.xkb_get_layout_group().
The default config has this:
awful.key({ modkey, }, "o", awful.client.movetoscreen ),
This moves the client to the next screen and focuses that screen.
But it does not ensure that the client is raised above any existing
windows, e.g. when moving a floating client.

currently focused, but only if the screen property actually has changed.

This new function spawns a program, similarly to awful.spawn, but captures its

this last callback is "the program is done", because most programs should only

Because of `placement.under_mouse` (and without
`placement.no_offscreen` fixing it), this will cause the tooltip to hide
immediately again.
There is no need for hooking into this signal, but this adds a click
handler to close the tooltip when clicking into it.

an already stopped timer. The timer gets also stopped after the tooltip
has been displayed.

In #152 I've changed the autofocus handler to emit the request::activate
signal, instead of setting client.focus only.
This is wrong IMHO, and can be annoying:
If you have two floating clients above a tiled / maximized one, and
close one of the floating ones, with the tiled one being the one
selected by autofocus, it will be raised above the other floating
client.
This is changed now to use the new `request::focus` signal instead.
This basically reverts 20cdb5d (#152), but allows for customizing this
behavior, by overriding the default `request::focus` handler
(`ewmh.focus`).
It would be nice if there was a helper to check if a window's content
isn't visible at all (i.e. covered by other windows), and that could be
used then by the (new) default handler for request::focus - raising the
client only, if it's completely covered by another window.
Fixes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/217
This still does `client.focus = c` by default, but allows to customize
it.
This was initially suggested in #194, but by using `request::activate`
instead, which would not be the same. Therefore a new signal is being

After a client gets unmanaged, the newly focused client might not be
visible / raised above other windows.
Using the `request::activate` signal makes the autofocus handler more
flexible, and will raise the focused client by default.
This avoids awful.autofocus to kick in, focusing some other client in
between (where a focused signal would get emitted for, although the
intermediate client was never meant to have focus).

Without this patch the top of the window is off-screen, but the bottom

display the window completely.
The 'request::activate' signal should be sent and handled immediately,
