Boy was this code broken. It tried to stack windows ontop of each other which
were on different screens. However, since they didn't have the same parent, they
obviously couldn't be ontop of each other. The X server just reacted with a "wtf
are you doing?"-kind of error which means the restacking was ignored.
The fix is to restack each screen on its own, completely ignoring any windows
from other screens.
A big thanks goes to Siarhei Siamashka who bisected this issue and helped me
debugging it which took quite a while. Finally, he noticed that my first patch
was broken and also figured out the fix. Thanks!
v2: Move the check on "client_need_stack_refresh" from
client_stack_refresh_screen() into client_stack_refresh(), so that all screens
are restacked instead of just the first one.

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.
