We now handle all "important" EWMH messages in lua and lua can decide to do
different things than the current obvious one.

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.
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.

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`.

Added set_expand function with options of "none" "outside" or "inside" modes.
The "inside" mode is the default and will result in the original behavior. The
main benefit is being able to actually center a widget in the available space
with options of how to draw the outside widgets (expand to take the space,
or not.) Further functionality can be had by ommiting one of the outside
widgets. Set default layout mode in the constructor.

This changes the align layout fit function so that align:fit will not return
more space than is actually needed by its sub-widgets. Changes to align:draw
were also required so that any widget assigned to the middle slot will expand
to fill the remaining space.

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.

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'
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.

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

When an area is split in two, for example horizontally, one of the windows
should have height math.floor(previous height / 2) and the other
math.ceil(previous height / 2), to be certain that no gaps are left between the
windows.
For instance, if the first window has height h and the second window has height
math.floor(h / 2), the height of the third window should be math.ceil(h / 2)
instead of the same as for the second window.
So to compute the size of window n + 1 it’s necessary to remember the size of
window n - 1 as well as that of window n.

The activated property was added to tag objects between awesome 3.4 and 3.5.
This is used in the C code to keep tags alive even when nothing else refers to
it and includes a tag e.g. in some root window properties.
Thus, to get rid of a tag and to make the C code drop its reference to it, we
have to set activated to false in this function.

When awesome restarts because a new screen was added or removed, clients can end
up being on a different screen than before the restart. However, the tags will
be carried across the restart. This means that a client could end up being
tagged with a tag from another screen. This results in weird behavior of tag
switches and confuses users.
To work around this, remove the client from any tags that are on a different
screen during startup. If the client ends up without any tags, it will then be
tagged with the currently selected tags.

This commit adds and uses wibox.layout.base.fit_widget(). This function is a
wrapper for widget:fit() that caches the result and thus speeds things up.
This is necessary because some layouts call :fit() from their :fit() and :draw()
functions. Nesting such layouts means that at the widget at the tail of the
stack gets its :fit() function called quite often. If this function is not
blazingly fast, this results in noticeable slowness.
