i3 processes changes to WM_CLASS by updating the cached property and
running assignments. This allows the property to be used in criteria
selection.

When a window becomes managed, explicitly set the current border width
to the default instead of relying on the default value of -1 to apply
the correct value.
Now that there are two different kinds of default borders, a border
width value of -1 is ambiguous. This can lead to different border widths
effectively being applied when the container changes from tiling to
floating, which is surprising behavior.
This commit extends behavior introduced in this commit to normal
borders:

Explicitly set current border width when BS_PIXEL
fixes#1304
Users can specify a command to run when a button was pressed on i3bar to
override the default behavior. Currently only the mouse wheel buttons
are supported. This is useful for disabling the scroll wheel action or
running scripts that implement custom behavior for these buttons.
Example:
bar {
wheel_up_cmd nop
wheel_down_cmd exec ~/.i3/scripts/custom_wheel_down
}

Fixes a bug where a normal floating default border is not applied when
the default tiling border is set to a pixel value.
This bug was introduced in this commit:

Consider motif border for floating geometry
Fixes a comment that claimed default floating border could override
motif hints, which was never the case.

Test that the EWMH specified property _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT is updated
properly on the root window. We interpret this as a list of x/y
coordinate pairs for the upper left corner of the respective outputs of
the workspaces.
This test is for this commit:
feature: implement ewmh desktop viewport property

I have seen this message once or twice, but since the actual error
message was not included, I cannot definitely say what’s going on.
I think it might be a race condition where the file with the specified
tmpname() already exists, but let’s be sure before we attempt to fix it.
Test that the EWMH specified property _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES is updated
properly on the root window. We interpret this as a list of the open
workspace names.

When a window becomes managed, if the config specifies a pixel border
style, explicitly set the current border width so it does not change
when the container changes from tiling to floating.

fixes#1279
A window may become unmapped on manage when an assignment command unmaps
the window, such as moving it to the scratchpad or killing it.
This can cause i3 focus to be an unmapped window and different than X
focus which can lead to complications
fixes#1283
If a `workspace {N}` or `move to workspace {N}` command is given with N
as a plain number, the workspace of this number is selected for the
context of the command if one exists and there is no workspace with a
name that exactly matches N.
A container selected with criteria should be moved with the `move
[direction]` command, instead of this command always acting on the
focused container.

Since managing a window happens on a MapNotify (which is absent from this
list), the window cannot accept input focus, so we should not try to focus
the window at all.
Fixes an issue with xfce4-notifyd which (correctly) declines focus when
we send WM_TAKE_FOCUS, which puts i3 in a state where i3 focus and X
focus are different when a notification appears.
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW:
> The window ID of the currently active window or None if no window has
> the focus.
This fixes a bug that would not update _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW when focus
changed to an i3 container without a window such as a branch or
workspace content container.
This patch adds a new configuration option "mouse_warping [output|none]".
When mouse warping is disabled, mouse cursor does not jump to middle of current
screen when changing workspaces between multiple outputs. This introduces a
"special" cursor state, where focus is in one window and cursor on another.
Useful for eg. scrolling a web page with mouse wheel while typing into another
window on keyboard.
Workspace assignments with bare numbers assign all workspaces with that
number to the specified output.
Workspace assignment by number is overridden by workspace assignment by
name.
Test 517 was sometimes failing because the command to reset the test
generates a focus event which was not being properly ignored.
Now the correct event should always be tested.
Floating windows already had their own border style, but the width was
the same for all windows.
The configuration directives 'new_window' and 'new_float' can now be
used simultaneously to have different border widths for floating and
tiled windows.
fixes#1244
Implement the configuration option within the bar config directive for
custom workspace numbers with the directive `strip_workspace_numbers
yes`.
This directive strips the workspace name of the number prefix and
delimiter. When the workspace name consists only of the number, it will
default to show the number.
For example:
* "2:5" -> "5"
* "4:$" -> "$"
* "8" -> "8"
This allows customization of i3bar for alternate ordering of workspaces
which has a legitimate use for alternate keyboard layouts such as
Dvorak.
fixes#1131
Allow client requests of type _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to switch workspaces if
they indicate they are a pager. Otherwise, set the urgency hint on that
con to indicate that something happened.
This allows task switchers like skippy-xd to work properly.

The _NET_CLIENT_LIST property of the root window:
> These arrays contain all X Windows managed by the Window Manager.
Dock clients are not managed windows, so they should not be included in
_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING.
The fullscreen_mode event is a window with the "change" property set to
"fullscreen_mode". This event should be emitted whenever a window enters
or exits fullscreen mode.
This event can be used to turn off dpms off when a window is fullscreen
or display the fullscreen container name in the status line for
instance.
When checking the window type for a resize command, first check to see
if the window property is null before checking whether or not it is a
dock window. The window may be null in the case it is a branch
container.
fixes#1220
If input focus is set by the window manager, it is not necessary to send
WM_TAKE_FOCUS because it has already taken focus.

Both setting input focus and sending WM_TAKE_FOCUS is effectively
setting focus on the window twice which is certainly against the spirit
of the spec, if not the letter.
