`client.property.persist` can be used to make properties persistent
across restarts. This works by backing them up via X properties (using
the `awful.client.property.` prefix).
`client.property.persist(c, "floating", "boolean")` is used to make the
floating property persistent by default.
Based on a patch from Uli, source: https://gist.github.com/psychon/10320743
doc, only set current prop in 'persist'
Fix xprop/prop mixup in 'persist'
Only call set for non-nil values
This new awful module reacts to shapes that a client sets on itself and sets the
shape of awesome's frame window to match. This way, xeyes really gets
transparent parts again.

Setting a tag's screen to what it already is shouldn't have any bad effects.
However, this code messed up the tag order and selection status.
Fix this by returning early if the tag already has the right screen.

Since commit 9c69e857ed, awful.tag.setscreen() unsets a tag's index to make
sure things end up in a sane order on the new screen. Thus, the call to
setscreen() removed the "index" property that tag.move just set.
Fix this by setting the index after the screen.

Since commit 5b4666432f, we use set_text() instead of set_markup()
on the tooltip's textbox. This means it is no longer possible to use pango
markup in the tooltip which was not intended.
Fix this (properly) by introducing a :set_markup() function on tooltips (and use
it in the timer function to restore the old behavior).

This makes the screen objects use our existing infrastructure for implementing
classes and objects with lua instead of hand-rolling an own version.
This results in some small API change: Screen objects no longer have an

class.

The bugs this fix are:
* Invalid request using nil as screen
* Stop messing indexes in the old screen
* Prevent c.screen <-> t.screen mismatch
* Prevent no tags being selected in the old screen
When a screen doesn't have any tags selected, then just tag the new client with
all of the screen's tags. That way, we don't lose clients.
Also, if we failed at coming up with tags for a client, don't completely untag
it. This means that it can keep its old tags if it had any.

This reverts commit bbe86e4e25. That commit caused
unintuitive, special behavior. Instead, when someone wants us to set a screen,
we really should do so.
This commit partly reverts commit b4c83d0e70.
Because the C code emits property::screen before manage, this caused
awful.tag.withcurrent() to run on a client before it really was being managed.
This then tagged the client. Because of this tag changes, awful.layout reacted
and ran the layout code. Because c.type wasn't set up at this point yet, the
client wasn't considered to be floating yet. This caused the client's geometry
to change and thus its floating geometry was messed up.

The current premise is that c.screen should be the same as
awful.tag.getscreen(t).
The addition in `ewmh.tag` appears to be the important part here,
changing the order in awful.rules.execute is (maybe) only for
consistency across the codebase.
By default, tag.history.restore switches between the previous history
states, which is not what should get done when deleting a tag.
Without this, deleting multiple tags in a row, will jump back to the
first/fallback tag, instead of the older history entries.

awful.tag.getscreen(t).

There is a strong hint that you are doing something wrong: You call
client.emit_signal(some_signal, c). Chances are high that this signal is
supposed to be emitted on the client object 'c' instead of the underlying client
class.
This applies to awful.rules' usage of this signal.

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.
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

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).

Restoring a previous history entry changes the tag history (in the
meaning of currently selected tags), and therefore should also emit the
tag::history::update signal.
A use case might be to automatically hide tags with no clients on them.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Hahler <git@thequod.de>
Instead of having the C code mess with which tags are selected, we now emit a

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'
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.

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.

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.

Since commit d8a93dafa3, tags have an "index" property which decides about
the order in which they are displayed in the taglist. If a tag doesn't have this
property set, the next call to awful.tag.gettags() will fix this and "invent" an
index for this new tag.
However, if multiple tags didn't have an "index" property, gettags() would
assign all of them the same index. The following call to table.sort() would then
do random magic to these tags (remember: table.sort() is not a stable sorting
algorithm, so it is allowed to randomly swap around entries which have the same
sorting key).
Fix this by making sure that the new "index" properties are different from each
other.

The current code relied on some widget to cause a redraw when the focus changes.
