Description

This patch is a modified version of vanitygaps that adds gaps around clients regardless of a layout. It means you can apply any layout patch and the gaps will be shown properly as long as the layout does not add any gaps on its own.

This works by allowing a layout to place clients normally without gaps, and then correcting positions and dimensions of clients afterwards to add gaps around them. To make it work, I had to modify resize() function, and, as a side effect, this change fixed some flickering I experienced when using snail layout.

Changelog

• Replace gappih, gappiv, gappoh and gappov with only gappx. They don't do anything anyways.
