Subject: Reframe swallowed windows if depth doesn't match
X-Git-Tag: 4.16~78^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fpull%2F3301%2Fhead;p=i3%2Fi3

Reframe swallowed windows if depth doesn't match

X will not allow a window with ParentRelative background to be created
or reparented under a window with mismatching color depth.
Deal with this by destroying the container frame and creating a new one
with the right depth upon swallowing.
Defer destruction of the frame window until after the updated tree has
been rendered to avoid some distracting flickering.

Fixes #3297
