Uli Schlachter a98fc92b81 Move handling of MappingNotify to xkb.c
A quote from the XKeyboard specification:

  The server notifies interested clients of keyboard map changes in one of two
  ways. It sends XkbMapNotify to clients that have explicitly selected them and
  core protocol MappingNotify events to clients that have not. Once a client
  requests XkbMapNotify events, the server stops sending it MappingNotify events
  to inform it of keyboard changes.

This commit moves the code that we had for handling MappingNotify events to the
place where we handle XkbMapNotify events. This might even fix some bugs where
parts of awesome continued to use old key binding "stuff"!

About awesome

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, typically ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua.

An example configuration named awesomerc.lua.in is provided in the source.

Troubleshooting

On most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors) is written to ~/.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.

Reporting issues

Please report any issues you may find on our bugtracker. You can submit pull requests on the github repository. Please read the @{02-contributing.md} guide for any coding, documentation or patch guidelines.
