Thanks to Michael Stapelberg, there is now a xcb-only port of libXcursor which
does everything we need. This patch switches awesome over to that new library.
Since the only reason for using XOpenDisplay() instead of xcb_connect() was so
that we can use libXcursor, we can get back to that older state again. This
means that this effectively reverts the following commits:
531f8b415c "Added initial support for Xlib cursor themes"
77243cd09a "Add x11-xcb to the pkg-config checks"
779d43fc46 "Don't let Xlib own the event queue"
03759b4847 "Fix keyboard layouts"

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.
