It seems that closing xft fonts on reload is a bad idea, but this seems
to result in a memory leak. As far as I can tell, the leak doesn't grow
beyond the initial allocation however.
This patch adds the possibility to use a argb visual for the conky
window. Adding a boolean configuration entry 'own_window_argb_visual'.
the 'set_transparent_background' method sets the alpha bytes of the argb
color for transparency, instead of pseudo transparency. This patch
would close following feature request:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1563931&group_id=143975&at
id=757311 and would be a workaround for some reported transparency bugs
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1968923&group_id=143975&a
tid=757308 for example)

* Drop all need_mask alterations (no idea why there were here at all,
but surely not sane since they are missing in the non-linux
functions).
* Drop the update delay for update_meminfo(), as parsing /proc should
not lead to abnormal overhead.
* Check for x_initialised from inside update_x11info(), so we can call
it unconditionally.
All ERR()'s are renamed to NORM_ERR() and box to mbox so that they don't
clash with things in ncurses.h .
Ncurses is enabled by default when building conky but can be disabled with
--disable-ncurses .
At the moment configure doesn't check if ncurses is actually available.
I'm adding support for ncurses so that we can make as much things as possible
that are only available in X11 also available in console in the future.
the default config should now run without memleaks, valgrind will
still report memleaks caused by the own_window-lines and the xft-lines
(in some cases) but those are caused by code that's not part of conky
Should work with any window manager that supports the
freedesktop.org Window Manager Specification
(see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/wm-spec).
I have tested succesfully with openbox but some more testing with other
wm would be needed!
Support is built-in; if it is not acceptable to loose cpu cycles for this
at every conky refresh step than it should be conditionally compiled.
Improved Lua API (lua_read_parse has been removed in favour of the
conky_parse() Lua API call). The docs have been improved to reflect the
recent Lua API stuff as well. Introduced new Lua Cairo and Imlib2
bindings, which require the tolua++ tool. Fixed some other
miscellaneous doc related things.
The panel type reserves space along the edge of the
screen, just like regular DE panels, taskbars and the
like. I have tested it for several hours now with lots
of different settings, and it seems to be working fine.
Works especially well with alignment top_??? or
bottom_??? and single-line output. Something like
this:
own_window yes
own_window_type panel
alignment bottom_left
maximum_width 1680
minimum_size 1680
gap_x 0
gap_y 0
stippled_borders 1
draw_borders yes
update_interval 3.0
TEXT
$nodename $tab $freq_g ${color grey}GHz$color $tab $memperc% ${color grey}RAM$color $tab $cpu% ${color grey}CPU $tab etc...etc...$alignr${time %F %R}
The line after TEXT is supposed to be on one line,
just in case some channel has messed it up.

Closing the X display on reload caused some weirdness. We can just
leave it open between reloads. For whatever reason we had a macro
inside quotes for the default net device.
