Switch to `--no-argb` flag by default in the next (major?) release?

argb mode (default now):

  • not often used by other window managers, so due to low level of testing - it often bugs on certain combination of hardware, driver version, X version etc

no-argb mode:

  • can't use compositor in this mode

idk, mb for such sort of stuff we could employ user surveys, to figure out which of two configurations is more popular - as it might help to reduce often bug reports caused by aforementioned driver issues

my personal idea for the solution is to have multiple /usr/share/xsession (with --no-argb flag and without), and so i recommend to populate default awesome session with --no-argb flag, but add second session without it (and name it "AwesomeWM (ARGB mode)"
