Previously, it would use the "real" args passed to the constructor.
It was a bad decision since:
* It doesn't allow the tag/tasklist to add properties internally
* It forces the widget to be created with a constructor rather than
the alternate declarative syntax
* It doesn't allow a tag/tasklist to be part of a widget_template
Technically this is a behavior change, but I doubt anybody will notice
given it is a dark and little documented corner of the API. Chances are
nobody have been using this API for years.
With this helper, it becomes possible to avoid manually setting common
properties such as the client in the tasklist of tag in the taglist when
the children widgets of the template have a set_+property_name.
This decision was taken out of necessity. While adding more style
elements to `awful.widget.common` isn't something I want, there is
little else to do here. The problem is that popup based lists only
have size constraints in one direction. So without a way to limit
the icon size, it will take 9999 pixels.
Instead of having the default template hardcoded as code, this turns the
template into a descriptive version. This makes it easier to come up
with own templates: Just copy the default template and make a slight
change to it.
No functional changes are intended, but I cannot rule out that I did no
mistakes.

There is not much good reason why this should be required and making it
optional is almost trivial, as this patch shows.

The current `awful.widget.layoutlist` is a fork of the so far uncommitted `naughty.widget.actionlist`. It was created because some of the support code for the new `naughty` implementation needed "easier to merge" usage examples. The `layoutlist` was chosen because it was both a low hanging fruit and genuinely useful.
This module is half way between the tooltip and the raw wibox.
It supports the following features:
* Auto resize to its widget size
* Support parent objects and placement
Fix#1683
If the `layouts` are set during initialization, `t.layout` will
return `floating` if `t.layouts` is added before `t.layout`. By
using the raw layout, the fallback doesn't kicks in.
Given noone understand this code, this will prevent some semi likely
regressions from going unnoticed. The main risk is the shims not
producing the exact same results as the real implementation and
cause different code paths to be taken.
As of this commit, both the "real" and "shim" implementation were given
the same set of tests with print() at every step of next_to. The
resulting log was then checksummed to ensure both are identical.
It also add some properties such as `border_width`, `border_color`
and `preferred_alignments`.
It also fix a documentation bug where the `margin_topleft` was called
`margins_topleft`. To conform to the documentation, both are now valid
but one should be removed the next time the API changes.
Fixes#1978
By passing the geometry, important information used by
awful.placement.next_to were "lost". Given `next_to` supports both
widget position, the mouse and client/wibox relative positioning, it
has to know the object type.

In the earlier revision of the keygrabber PR, there was a `release_key`
and it was suggested to rename it `stop_key`. However its sibling
`release_event` wasn't, so it is now confusing.
The commit adds a mild deprecation codepath to avoid breaking configs
based on git-master. However it isn't a "long term" deprecation notice
and the code can probably be removed in 5.0 without further delay.
Previously, the layout list was global. However it wasn't covering all
possible use cases and make using `awful.widget.layoutlist` hard since
a layout could be excluded from the `awful.layout.layouts` but still
used for a tag (by setting it explicitly).
Until now there wasn't much documentation available about how to use
these properties. With the new work on `awful.spawn` that rely more and
more on `awful.rules` integration, it is worth fixing.
This commit add a new documentation section and a future commit will
aggregate them to generate an index.
The toggle/show/hide function were incompatible with the current
`rc.lua` is `titlebars_enabled` was removed from the rules because
they were never created. This has always been the case but the
introduction os `request::titlebars` in Awesome 4.0 allows to solve
this longstanding issue. However until now it didn't.
Fix#2419
If the history file (or its parents) can't be created, running a command
will fail entirely. Since saving command history is not an integral part
of running a command, it would be nicer if it carried on, just without
saving history. This is what shells usually do.
This patch removes assertions in the history saving function and
instead adds an early return, so if the history isn't saved the command
invocation simply carries on.

This commit adds a way to leverage the xproperty and startup_id APIs
to persist an execution token across restarts. It allows to use
`awful.rules` on clients that were executed by a previous Awesome
instance.
The main limitations of these methods is the lack of entropy used to
build the token. If the command is the same in multiple
`awful.spawn.once`, then it will not work as expected. To mitigate this
issue, the system try to concatenate the `awful.rules` table after the
command and hash the resulting string. Given rules are a table, it can
have loops and/or issues with keys ordering. The hash function sort and
limite recursion to prevent a stack overflow. Another issue is the
unreliability of startup notifications.
The awful.placement.no_offscreen function did not work properly when
composed with other placement functions; in particular, the default
configuration (awful.placement.no_overlap+awful.placement.no_offscreen)
was broken. The compose function sets args.pretend=true and puts the
result of the previous placement function into args.override_geometry
before calling the next placement function, but no_offscreen did not use
args.override_geometry, therefore the result of the previous placement
function was discarded.
All other placement functions use `geometry_common(c, args)` to get the
current client geometry; `area_common(c)` should be used only when
getting geometry of other clients.
This change also fixes the problem with margin handling (adding margins
should not affect the window size, only the window position should
change); the test output which was adjusted in commit 0275d3537d
is adjusted again to account for this change.

The awful.placement.no_overlap function was adding the window border
width to the client width and height (this is performed in
area_common(), which is called by geometry_common()), but did not
reverse this operation by calling remove_border() before returning the
final geometry; because of this, using no_overlap resulted in increasing
the window width and height by 2*border_width.
The bug was probably introduced in commit ebcc19844e (before
that commit no_overlap changed the window position directly instead of
relying on the new placement infrastructure), but was not noticed
because of other problems (e.g., in the default configuration the result
of no_overlap was overridden by the buggy no_offscreen).

The current taglist/tasklist allow filter function to remove elements
from the list. However they don't allow sorting or additional entries
to be listed.
This commit introduced such a concept. It will later be used by the
layoutlist where it becomes more relevant since layouts are used created
"objects".
This property is based on Motif WM hints and checks if the client
requests that it is not decorated with a titlebar.
