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.
There was many unfixable race conditions that could only be
solved by better integrating the request:: system and
awful.rules. This has the side effect to make rules mandatory.
The new stateful layout system try to avoid coupling and therefor
doesn't use these methods. It is not planned to deprecate the
stateless layout API, so these functions are just kept as-is with
the old naming convention.
ldoc doesn't allow to specify fields from class "A" into class "B",
so the only solution is to merge the 2.
Also, one of the most common complain on IRC since Awesome 3.0 is
that the client API doc is confusing since it is in 2 different files.
Also restore the `awful.client` doc link, point to `client`
This will avoid broken links.
gears modules usually don't depend on Awesome C-API. This code has
been placed there for unclear reasons.
Also, there is ongoing work to unify each "concepts" API into one
single page. Having `gears.screen` go against this effort.
This re-use the `align` code for the existing `centered`,
`center_horizontal` and `center_vertical` methods. It also
add all the other edges and corners alias.
This allow to place a client, wibox or cursor at the
edges, corners or center of the parent geometry.
This also add code from `awful.wibox` to ajust the workarea.
Future commit will use `awful.placement` to place `awful.wibox`.
Useful when using dynamic tags. The tags will be closed once
it is empty. This was part of Tyrannical for many years, but is
generally useful for other workflows too.
local t = awful.tag.add("my_tag",{volatile=true, screen=2})
awful.spawn("ayapp", {tag=t})
Any signal on a screen instance is also emitted on the screen class, so the here
can just connect to the screen class.

This code works just fine with non-integer table keys. Also, this is used by
awful.screen.focus_bydirection() and thus will be used with screen objects
instead of screen indicies when we get rid of screen indicies.

There seem to be a little race condition (either in my layout code or
elsewhere) when playing with multiple screens. As most properties do
not depend on the tag, there is no point in returning early anyway.
Instead of true/false `merge` can be a callback now, which allows for
more dynamic handling of the client not being visible, e.g. moving it to
the current tag, instead of merging.
This makes awful.tooltip create its tooltip lazily when it is first needed
instead of immediately when the tooltip is created.

Since commit b2aaefd095, we correctly handle window gravities when
the border width of a client changes. Since most windows out there have a
NorthWest gravity, this means that most windows do not have this problem.
However, e.g. mplayer uses gravity "Static" and this causes this issue (any
gravity other than NorthWest will do).
This affects the fullscreen handling in awful.ewmh. The code has to set the
border width before it changes a client's geometry so that the move when the
border width changes doesn't matter.
No new integration test for this since I didn't find anything usable with a
non-NorthWest gravity. A test would be easy to write, just test if `c.fullscreen
= true ; c.fullscreen = false` restores the previous window geometry.

This module is partly broken since 2009 (the way to use it that is mentioned in
the docs doesn't actually work) because the mousefinder object doesn't have a
find()-method (the line doing "self.find = find" should do "self.finder =
finder.find"). Since no one really noticed, this module is apparently not used
much.
When someone wants to still use this, they are free to copy this to their own
config. It's not much code, but it's enough code that I am annoyed that we ship
something broken to users. Everyone who copies it to their own config will make
sure it works the way they want.

Any awful.titlebar.widget.button widget (e.g. floatingbutton or closebutton)
decides on the currently visible symbol based on several factors. One of them is
"is the client currently focused?" and thus the button has to be updated when
the client is focused/unfocused.
The way the code did this was to use client.connect_signal("focus", f) and
client.connect_signal("unfocus", f). However, these signals are never
disconnected and kept alive forever. The callback function had a strong
reference to the client (as an upvalue) and thus this also prevented the client
from being garbage collected.
Fix this by using c:connect_signal("focus/unfocis", f) instead. These kind of
signals are only kept alive by the client object and don't prevent it from being
garbage collected.
This fixes the new test that the previous commit added.

Go around a limitation of the lua language spec. The return value
of this method guaranteed `ipairs()` correctness.
Please note that both the official Lua and Luajit implementation
provide a sparse table compatible `ipairs()` and __len implementation
by default.
It is necessary to have it beforehand when creating layout objects
for unselected layouts.
In the current layout system, there is no layout object, but to allow
tabs and dynamic tagging features like ion3, layouts cannot be stateless.
Before, it was the caller job to make sure the client wasn't floating.
This limitation is unecessary. awful.client.idx now return nil instead
of an error. awful.rules setting the master width factor are now
foolproof.
This allow the most basic kind of stateful layouts to be created.
It is now possible to have layout instances instead of global
stateless layout arrange functions.
This allow layout "arrange" to be called less often and react on
the cause of the change itself rather than it's consequences
(usually, the "focus" signal).
Previously, the layout were re-arranged everytime the focus changed.
Now, with "raised" and "lowered", it require less "arrange".
"swapped" allow smarted layouts. Currently, swapped cause a full
re-arrange. It re-read the "index" list from scratch and create
a "new" layout. With "swapped", incremental layout changes are
possible.

This adds functions for getting directories according to the XDG base dir
specification. This might be useful in general.
This also adds a function for getting the cache dir, because I like an explicit
function call more than something which "switches" based on a string argument.
Better error messages if you mis-type something. :-)
Finally, this adds a function for getting the directory containing the rc.lua
file. Sadly, awful.util.getdir("config") did not actually do that. See #218.

Thanks to the way that X11 works, geometries consider the size of the client
without the border width, but the position of the top-left corner of the border.
This commit adds a new function get_area() which returns the area that is

function (even the part of the code which did get this border thing correct).

I have no idea why this needs collectgarbage() to be called twice.
On the other hand, I can explain the change in tooltip.lua. Lua 5.2 introduced
"ephermeron tables". This means that in the following sitation, lua 5.2 can
collect the entry from the table, while 5.1 keeps the entry alive, because the
table has a strong reference to the value and that in turn has a strong
reference to the key:
t = setmetatable({}, { __mode = "k"})
do
local k = {}
t[k] = function() print(k) end
end
collectgarbage("collect")
print(next(t, nil))
To handle this incompatibility, this commit just removes the whole indirection
through the module-level variable "data".

Instead of connecting to the needed tag-update-signal again for every layoutbox,
this now just creates a single connection and updates all layoutboxes from here.
A new weak table is used to find the layoutboxes from these callbacks.
Additionally, layoutboxes are now per-screen unique. So even if you try to
create three layoutboxes for screen 1, the code will now always return the same
instance.
This kind-of fixes the leak test for layoutboxes. The problem is that the
default config also creates a layoutbox and adds it to a wibox. Since this is
now the same layoutbox, the test still fails. Just removing the layoutbox-part
from the default config makes this problem go away.

This fixes the textclock-specific part of the test that the previous commit
added.
To fix this, gears.timer.weak_start_new() is used. This function creates a timer
that is automatically stopped when its callback function is garbage collected.
The callback function is saved as a member of the texbox widget that is the
"widget behind the textclock". Thus, the timer can only be stopped after the
widget is garbage-collected, but the timer does not keep the widget alive.

When a client is not visible, this would adjust its stacking order
still.
This also addresses https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/472,
because it raises unminimized clients after they got focused.
This is used by `tooltip.place` then to tie the tooltip to the screen of
the mouse. Without this, a tooltip from the tasklist might get moved to
the screen above the tasklist, if it gets considered to be on that
screen given its coordinates.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/437.
Extend the range of the 'group_names' patterns which is currently
restricted to typical ones like
pc+us+ru:2+de:3+ba:4+inet
to more general ones such as
macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/jp(usmac)+macintosh_vndr/jp(mac):2
so that the keyboardlayout widget can handles all possible patterns
returned by awesome.xkb_get_layout_group().
The default config has this:
awful.key({ modkey, }, "o", awful.client.movetoscreen ),
This moves the client to the next screen and focuses that screen.
But it does not ensure that the client is raised above any existing
windows, e.g. when moving a floating client.
This patch emits the `request::activate` signal if the client is
currently focused, but only if the screen property actually has changed.
