Details - i noticed some missing layout features while rewriting awful.menu.
firstly i wanted to set the size of a wibox containing a layout without knowing
the exact size of the specific layouted content.
the problem: getting a preferred size from the layout regardless in which
direction the layout is going.
a solution: the method fit in every layout returns the preferred size when
filled with invalid size (e.g. -1, -1) (for example
wibox.layout.fixed.vertical:fit(-1, -1) returns the sum of all item.height as
height and the max item.width as width )
secondly i need the position of widget inside a layout.
the problem: same as above. getting the position and size of a widget inside a
layout without handling the exact type of layout.
a solution: a new method get_widget_geometry(w, h) for a layouts, which returns
the position and size of a widget inside a layout as table. width (w) and
height (h) will be passed to the method fit.
what to you think this idea?
if you like it i will implement it and submit a patch.
