Uli Schlachter bf76b3842b Ungrab the server before parsing the config 
This moves the loading of the rc.lua and managing of pre-existing clients to
after we ungrab the server during startup. To make sure we have no races with
clients which start up parallel to awesome, we do the QueryTree for all the
clients that we have to manage before the ungrab, but start managing the clients
only after the ungrab.

This means that we have already selected our event mask on the root window in
scan() and thus received an UnmapNotify event when we reparent windows into a
frame window. This has the effect that we immediately unmanage the client again,
whoops.

To fix this, we grab the server again and remove our event mask on the root
window again while we reparent.

This should hopefully fix all cases where we deadlock during startup because
pulseaudio wants to talk to the X server, but is being ignored because we have
the server grabbed while at the same time we are waiting for pulseaudio.

README 

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.
