Testing demonstrated that many rule properties were broken when used
together. This commit try to address this by forcing an execution order
that doesn't trigger the problems.
It is still possible to write broken rules, but it should not happen by
accident anymore. Users should not try to assign the client a tag on
screen 2 and also use screen=screen[1].
This commit also add a 3 step process to apply rules.
Testing showed that many rules are currently broken because
of execution races.
Create a new dynamic tag for the client.
* This commit add a new module to avoid a (4 level) loop dependency
* It is now possible to call awful.spawn() with a table of properties
* awful.rules is used to execute the rules.
* Everything is public to allow alternative workflow modules such as
Tyrannical to use their own callback implementation.
This factors out `matches` and uses it in `matches_list` (renamed
from `does_match`) to short-circuit the successful case - where not all
rules have to get checked.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/431.
In ed09d8e this was changed accidentally, while only `request::focus`
should have been changed:
- c:emit_signal('request::activate',"rules")
+ c:emit_signal('request::activate', "rules", false)
