The memory referred to by the reply argument of
property_update_wm_protocols is automatically free'd
by xcb later on, so it is not safe to simply use the
value of reply in our own data structures. If we did
this, future calls to xcb_get_wm_protocols_reply_wipe
free the data which has already been free'd by xcb,
causing a double-free and corrupting the heap. In
addition, it isn't safe to use free'd memory as if
it is still allocated. Instead, duplicate the data
referred to by reply and use the duplicate instead.
It seems to me as if the duplication should actually
be done in xcb_get_wm_protocols_from_reply, but I'm
not really sure. If that is the case, this is simply
a work-around until xcb can be fixed.

awesome
=======
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
-------------------------
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
---------------
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file.
An example configuration named "awesomerc.lua.in" is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
---------------
In most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
are written to $HOME/.xsession-errors.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired
results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
