Rulers insertion order impact the result of the bubble sort algorithm.
By inverting the order, we can make the output image looking more natural.
Awesome's screen properties can be seen like this:
* The screen has a geometry (its size) ;
* Inside there is the workarea ;
* Inside there is the tiling_area.
It seems better to draw rulers in this order.
Having the new object layout will be important soon when the
append/remove methods start to get added to the client and the
reborn `awful.keyboard` module.
As visible in various modules and even built-in components like
`awful.keygrabber`, it was previously necessary to work around the
fact that keybindings could not be added later without using some
low level API hacks.
From now on, `rc.lua` will be a good citizen and use the same APIs as
the module to manage keybindings.
Another step in moving these APIs toward the common object oriented and
declarative paradigms used by other APIs.
This commit introduces the `awful.keyboard` module. It currenly only
exists as a placeholder for the first few append/remove function, but
will grow in scope in another pull request to expose the currently
private modifier APIs and to provide keybindings collision detection
and replace some of `awful.hotkey_popup` business logic.
The `keygrabber` tests which uses root keybindings are disabled for
now to keep the commit size small. This is necessary since the shims
will need many iterations of changes before this work again with the
new syntax.
It might not be the most pretty of change, but it works. With this
change, it is possible to have multiple "things" in the "same"
section having the "same" name.
This allows for C/C++ style functions with the same name but different
signatures. Lua doesn't handle this well, so it should usually be
avoided. However, constructors might be a valid exception. Most older
widget (and object) constructors have multiple random argument while
newer one use `args`. Deprecating the old ones for the sake of
standardization might be a bit too much for users upgrading from v3.5.
Given the only reason all of those deprecation would happen is because
"its pretty that way", then lets allow 2 constructors and avoid outrage.
The fix focuses on ewmh.merge_maximization function, which handles client intentions to change maximization states.
The fix includes:
1. Fixing the `get_value` helper function to return the proper resulting state that client wanted to change.
For example, when `c.maximized and not c.maximized_horizontal and not c.maximized_vertical` holds,
the client would observe the `MAXIMIZED_VERT` and `MAXIMIZED_HORZ` atoms in X11, but get_value would compute
the result values based on `c.maximized_{horizontal,vertical}`, which are all false. The fix makes the computation
consistent to clients' view.
2. Interpret a client's maximization intentions based on the client's view of how the X11 atoms changes.
This function is not documented to handle userdata, but historically it
would just pass all arguments to gears.surface.load(), which interpreted
userdata as cairo surfaces. After 3295e9f33d, userdata
objects are restricted.
Accept userdata objects again by explicitly passing them to
gears.surface.load().

The `:keys()` and `:buttons()` APIs moved from get/set single methods
to properties. It works fine if you use the new or old API, but has
limitations when mixing them. `awful.rules` calls properties in a loop
after checking if it is a function. Thus it triggers the secondary
codepath to try to handle this case.
This codepath was tested with gears.objects based components
(ie. widgets). It was not tested with clients and tags, and it
didn't work because they use `awful.tag.getproperty` and
`awful.client.property.get` instead of `._private` like all
newer components. Those old functions are officially deprecated,
but used by tons of configs and modules ported from v3.5 and thus
still the default way to access Lua properties in our implementation.
This commit adds a `_private` to anything that doesn't have one to
at least make the error stop. It will "mostly" work until a more
complete solution is added. Reverting the 2 PRs that changed this
would delay getting more feedbacks.
