[dev] [PATCH] wmii - client mapping events

Hello,

The following patch against wmii-hg r2785 allows my wmiirc to know
when clients are added to or removed from the current view. Using
that information it can persist[1] the application of automated client
arrangements (such as emulating LarsWM tiling layout, for example) as
the current view's population changes over time.

         client_setstate(c, state);
 }

Also, note that only those mapping events that occur (1) after the
first subsequent ClientFocus event and (2) before the next UnfocusTag
event correspond to clients added to and removed from the current
view. Mapping events which occur outside the mentioned boundaries are
transient (occurring while a view is being switched to).

Cheers.
