The code in drawin_moveresize() tries to be clever and only updates the drawing
state of the drawable when it is resized, not when it is moved around. This used
to be necessary because once upon a time, drawin_update_drawing() threw away all
of the drawing state and thus forcing a repaint. These days it just calls
drawable_set_geometry() as well and that function special-cases moves.
So this old code in drawin_moveresize() is no longer necessary and actually
caused problems.
These problems occurred because drawin_update_drawing() is being clever and
doesn't do anything for .visible = false drawins, because their drawing state
will be updated once they become visible. However, not skipping
drawable_set_geometry() means that this broke, because drawin_map() thought that
the drawing state was up to date while in reality it wasn't.

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.
