If a client gets moved to a screen without any selected tags, that client
disappears and it is non-trivial to get it back. Since this is unexpected and
annoying, make movetoscreen do nothing if the target screen has no tags
selected.

This allows to apply properties and callbacks to a client like
awful.rules.apply would do, without the matching part.
This is useful with the new startup notifications, and lets you apply
the same properties and callbacks from e.g. a manage signal handler.
Previously, ownership of the pixmaps that we are using for double buffering was
a little weird. The pixmap belonged to the drawin/titlebar, but the
corresponding cairo surface was owned by the drawable. Clean this up by moving
the pixmap to the drawable.
This cleans up lots of ugly code and also fixes a crash: When a drawable was
garbage collected before its drawin, drawin_wipe() would crash accessing the
drawable. This was needed to make it forget about the cairo surface we gave to
it for the pixmap that is being destroyed.
By moving the pixmap to the drawable, this whole issues goes away.

Whenever a titlebar of a client needed to be refreshed, all (possibly) four
titlebars would get completely refreshed. So if someone actually added more than
one titlebar to a client, awesome would copy each titlebar's content to the
window four times. Fix this by introducing more fine-grined functions for
uploads.
This also makes awesome only update the affected area when it gets an expose
event for a titlebar instead of all four titlebars completely.

If a drawable has an opaque background, we don't need pseudo transparency and
thus its content don't change when it is moved. However, when we need pseudo
transparency, then we have to redraw the drawable to apply the new background.
Previously we just always did the redraw. This commit adds a helper function
gears.color.create_opaque_pattern() that analyzes a cairo pattern for
transparency. We use this new function to only redraw-on-move when there is
actual pseudo transparency in effect. Otherwise, this redraw can be skipped.

Before this commit, we always threw away the drawin's cairo surface whenever it
was made visible and thus forced a redraw.
This commit changes this so that we only force a redraw if the drawin was
resized why it wasn't visible. To remember when this happens, we free the
drawin's cairo surface without allocating a new one when the drawin is resized
while not being visible. Thus, we then only have to allocate a new surface if
the drawin doesn't have one when it is being made visible.

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)

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`.

Instead, use stack_client_push and emit the `request::activate` signal

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
