Currently wiboxes have their background set to "inherit parent pixmap". That means that each time a wibox is e.g. resized, the X server sets the wibox' content to the wallpaper and then immediately awesome redraws the wibox with the proper background. This causes flicker when you e.g. resize clients which have a titlebar. With this patch, wiboxes get their proper background color for their "back pixel" value. Now, instead of showing the wallpaper, the X server will fill the complete wibox with its background color. With this patch, the actual widgets will still flicker. Also, if the wibox has a background image, this image obviously won't be used by the X server and we get some flicker again. My next patch will address these issues.

=======
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
-------------------------
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
---------------
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file.
An example configuration named "awesomerc.lua.in" is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
---------------
In most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
are written to $HOME/.xsession-errors.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired
results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
