This allows to voluntarily give up ownership of a selection. Because selection acquire objects cannot be garbage-collected before they are released, this also gets rid of the function destroying the window when its selection acquire object is destroyed. Instead, the window is immediately destroyed when no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in> |

About 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 either install via make install:
make install # you might need root permissions
or by auto-generating a .deb or .rpm package, for easy removal later on:
make package
sudo dpkg -i awesome-x.y.z.deb
# or
sudo rpm -Uvh awesome-x.y.z.rpm
NOTE: Awesome uses cmake to build. In case you want to
pass arguments to cmake, please use the CMAKE_ARGS environment variable. For
instance:
CMAKE_ARGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/awesome" make

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, typically ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua.
An example configuration named awesomerc.lua is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
On most systems any message printed by Awesome (including warnings and errors)
is written to ~/.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.
Debugging tips
You can call awesome with gdb like this:
DISPLAY=:2 gdb awesome
Then in gdb set any args and run it:
(gdb) set arg --replace
(gdb) run
