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`.
This adds gears.screen which contains a wrapper around
screen.connect_signal("added", func) that also calls the callback function for
each screen that already exists. This is added in gears.screen so that it can
also be used from e.g. wibox, if needed. Feel free to move this elsewhere if
that's a bad idea (I'm not really convinced of it).

Instead of using a special _call field on gears.matrix instances which has to be
copied around suitably, this commit changes the code so that the magic is
restricted to a single function in gears.shape.transform. With some metatable
magic, suitable redirection to everything is added.

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.

Signals on instances are also emitted on the class and thus we can just connect
to the signal on the class here.

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.

This makes it possible to have the systray only visible on the primary screen,
which is the new default value. This also makes it possible to configure
directly on which screen the systray should be visible.
This breaks the API in the sense that people who use "the old method" to
configure the systray's screen possibly don't have a systray.

There's no point in having multiple instances of this, because there are no
per-instance settings and the systray can only be visible in a single place at a
time anyway.

* Better widget names when using the declarative syntax
* Add ratio.get_ratio to avoid using the private API
* Also support `set_widget` when swapping widgets
Issues involve:
- :layout() had the wrong signature and expected a cr argument that was left
from when this was still the :draw() function.
- horizontal and vertical reflection were mixed up (I guess it has always been
this way?)
- The return value should be a table of widget placements. Instead it was just a
single widget placement.
This is broken since commit 85ab3f045b.

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.
It was missing apps/entries from /usr/share/applications/kde4.
This patch also makes sure that entries are unique (by Exec/Name).
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/711.
Wallpapers are usually big images that use up a lot of memory. This commit makes
gears.wallpaper call :finish() on all involved surface to make them free their
memory.
This is a lot faster than waiting for the garbage collector to collect these
surfaces. Due to the large size of wallpapers, such a special case makes sense
for this code.

Loading a file normally has the same behaviour as before. First the cache is
checked and if nothing is found, the file is loaded and cached.
This commit changes the behaviour of loading a file uncached. This no longer
removes the file from the cache if it is cached (why should it?) and also does
not put it in the cache.
This means that users of load_uncached and load_uncached_silently can now freely
modify the resulting surface without interfering with other API users.

This commit makes these methods invoke the method on a widget in a protected
context. Thanks to this, e.g. the wibox and other widgets are protected from
errors in a child widget.
Additionally, fit_widget() now assumes 0 if a widget's :fit() method didn't
provide a number.

I just spent too much time tracking down a bug that happened while drawing a
widget. This is the reason why we should apply sanity checks while widgets are
constructed, so that we get a useful backtrace.
Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in>
This makes the code use the existing functions for setting widgets. That way,
all the sanity checks that the existing functions have are applied for this code
as well.
I just spent half an hour tracking down a bug where a boolean ended up as a
"widget" in a fixed layout. The symptom was that while drawing the widget, an
error happened. Via this change, the error would instead be flagged while
constructing the widget.

This commit makes awful.ewmh re-apply the maximized geometry to any maximized

This avoids having to mock half the C API just because all of awful is loaded
needlessly in this unit test and is generally a good idea.

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.
