A co-worker of mine has a laptop with a small display and two larger displays.
When enabling the larger displays (and disabling the built-in display), the
wallpaper was set incorrectly. Only the size of the old, smaller screen actually
contained the wallpaper and the left was black.
The reason for this is that the code directly draws the new wallpaper to the
pixmap containing the old wallpaper. However, because the old display was
smaller, this pixmap isn't as large as the screen and so couldn't contain all of
the new wallpaper.
Fix this by explicitly creating a surface of the needed size and copying the old
wallpaper into it (because we might be setting only the wallpaper of some
screen, not all of them).

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.
