to having to manage an array outside in screen_ctx for group names and
shortcuts. Simplifies (and moves bits for) reading, and constructing
data for, EWMH's _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES.
client to 'stick' to all desktops (ewmh speak) or groups - this
currently has the same affect as setting a client's group to 'nogroup',
with the exception that the client can also be in a group, so when
un-sticking, the client will go back to its original group/desktop.
group_show() and group_hide() are not the only ways a group can change
state - if all clients in a group are either hidden or unhidden, then
that group's state should change, as well as the various EWMH ways.
Instead of trying to keep track in a wide variety of places, simply
query the clients in a group before needing to take action based on the
group's state. Solves long standing confusion of when a group is hidden
or not.
symantics between cwm groups and ewmh got in the way. Ensure a client
that wants to be in nogroup stays in nogroup (thus stays in view), even
when (re)reading NET_WM_DESKTOP. Paritially reverts patchset 644
(2014-02-07 13:09 PST) which deals with a NULL cc->group. All to be
revisited when NET_WM_STATE_STICKY hits cwm.
Reported by many; testing and ok phessler.
since nhidden wasn't incremented nor decremeted in all the right places,
thus confusing matters. We don't need to carry a count around, so just
use a local variable in the one place we need one to supply
XRestackWindows().
group 0 (nogroup); solves problem initially discovered by oga@nicotinebsd with
tint2. A clientmessage *after* client creation already handles this case.
Go further and assign every client to a group; in non-sticky mode, group 0
(nogroup) and sticky mode, the active group. In both cases, autogroup will
override the group assignment. Removing a group from a client always places
the client back into group 0 (nogroup). Autogroup can also assign a client to
group 0 (nogroup) to keep a client always visible (unless of course one opts to
hide all clients).
event on the screen's root window, there's no need to pass down the
entire XButtonEvent event, at least to group_menu(), the only callback
which takes an argument at this point; instead use the already populated
screen.
(in sticky or non-stick mode), regardless of existing clients assigned
to that group; oga marked this bit XXX in -r1.34 for it didn't seem make
sense then either.
pulled from a diff from from Alexander Polakov.
note that a re-exec of cwm will not rewrite the group number atom of
*existing* clients, so they will remain off-by-one until each client has
its atom updated, or of course a restart of X.
group_movetogroup() on one client will still increment nhidden if the
group is hidden.
found the hard way by Thomas Jeunet and fix from Alexander Polakov -
thanks to both!

cwmrc(5)). instead, fix cwmrc(5) to match the old behavior which also
happens to match the example config, of which many have based their
configs; this also nicely matches the output of xprop(1).
clean-up of variable names as a separate commit.
suggested by sthen (and something we should have done initially).
discussed with and ok oga@
it works kinda like _CWM_GRP, which we added to aid restarts a while
ago, but it's standardised and clients are specifically allowed to set
it to request a desktop.
for noe we leave _CWM_GRP support in, but its days are now numbered.
while i'm here fixup an int/long mixup with an earlier diff.
ok okan@
says that a pager can change the property at any time (most need a
clientmessage). So deal with property updates.
Needed to shuffle some of the other code around since we can't just use
shortcut_to_name[] everywhere now.
ok okan@
remove screen_current() it was utterly bogus when nscreens > 1.
pass a fake client_ctx in the case where there's no client and the
kbfunc or mousefunc doesn't need a real one, it just contains the
current screen, modify these functions so that they pass down the screen
context to their callees.
make groups per screen, it's the only way it makes sense in this regard.
ok okan@.
using Xft(3), use it to select the font color as well instead of trying
to build one; properly allocate and free colors at-will, e.g. we now
have configurable colors.

display and moves it to another group. useful with the recently added
"grouponly" function, giving the ability to use groups as simple
virtual desktops (similar to e.g. xmonad, dwm and scrotwm).
this doesn't have default keyboard bindings; cwmrc(5) now shows how
you could use these functions (use M-1...9 for grouponly1...9 and
MS-1...9 for movetogroup1...9 to emulate the default dwm bindings).
ok oga@
This works like the group select binding, but hides all other groups.
So, the people who've been complaining that they don't get "virtual
desktops" in cwm may want to try this out in cwmrc (from memory, untested):
---
#cwmrc
# add new windows to the current group
set sticky
# automatically sticky windows. xclock for now.
# to make more windows sticky use group_toggle to unset their group
autogroup 0 xclock
# make the group selection keys hide other groups, emulate virtual desktops

your group state. Fix this up by using an X Atom (_CWM_GRP) to store the
name of the group that we're using (the name, not the number is because
at one point we may make the group numbers dynamic). I've been talking
about this since c2k8. so CM-w means you keep all of your windows grouped
properly.

to push attributes around, so things get a lot simplier, while fixing a
few issues in the meantime; original suggestion by Edd Barrett many many
moons ago.
annoying window placement and race, found in c2k8 by todd, fix by oga!
lots of feedback from todd and oga - thanks!

- properly name, place and static private functions.
- move function which finds the xinerama screen for a coordinate to
a more appropriate place while altering its semantics to match others.
- tiny bit of style.
