Having the IPC socket is handy, so enable it by default. Also, if
you have > 1 user running i3 on the same machine, the old path of
/tmp/i3-ipc.sock is not so useful. On the other hand, we needed
quite a bit of changes to make tilde expansion and creation of

The welcome message is displayed using xmessage(1), not using your
terminal. Thus, it makes no sense to have this option anymore. Also,
the new lex/yacc parser cannot correctly handle the situation:
normal variables are expanded before parsing the file. As a replacement,
you can use:
set $terminal /usr/bin/urxvt
Also update documentation (manpage, userguide).
To make the code easier to read/write when checking if a client is
floating, introduce client_is_floating().
Details which are missing: A command to hide/show all floating clients,
moving/resizing clients with your mouse holding Mod1 (click anywhere
in the client, not just on its borders), resize/move by keyboard, select
next/previous client by keyboard
