X11 only handles alpha channels in a restricted set of APIs (such as
setting `border_color`); most others throw undocumented errors and/or
produce black pixels. Document this, and mask out alpha where it
matters.

Adds several new functions and type for manipulating "simple windows".
There are several ways to draw windows in X.U.XUtils and other places
already, but they are all quite manual. Most of the time one does not
want to think about dimensions much and assumes that the code is smart
enough to "figure it out"; this is an attempt to do exactly that.
There is a less-managed version `showSimpleWindow`, which just creates
and shows the windows, as well as a wrapper-like `withSimpleWindow` that
also destroys the window once some action finishes executing.
With these functions it should be possible to refactor some contrib
modules that currently draw windows manually, like X.U.EasyMotion.
This is a convenience module in order to have less import noise. It
re-exports the following:
a) Commonly used modules in full (Data.Foldable, Data.Applicative, and
so on); though only those that play nicely with each other, so that
XMonad.Prelude can be imported unqualified without any problems.
This prevents things like `Prelude.(.)` and `Control.Category.(.)`
fighting with each other.
b) Helper functions that don't necessarily fit in any other module;
e.g., the often used abbreviation `fi = fromIntegral`.
* Added a XMonad.Util.Image module to manipulate simple images
and show them into an X drawable
* Added the possibility of using image buttons instead of plain
text buttons into the title bar
* Added a XMonad.Layout.ImageButtonDecoration as an example of
how to use the image buttons
- printStringXMF: use the background color for XFT fonts too
- textWidthXMF now returns the text width even with xft fonts
- textExtentsXMF will now return only the ascend and the descent of a
string.
- stringPosition now takes the display too
- add support for UTF-8 locales: if the contrib library is compiled
with the 'with_xft' or the 'with_utf8' option the prompt and the
decoration system will support UTF-8 locales - this requires
utf8-strings.
issue 105 was due to the fact that tab windows created when
bootstrapping the windowset after a restart where managed. Setting the
override_redirect attributes to True fixes the issue.
Added the possibility to set the override_redirect attribute with
XMonad.Util.XUtils.creationNewWindow
