Kenny Levinsen b83e5aaa54 desktop/output: Do not use commit listener to arrange
The reasoning for using a commit handler is to ensure that all paths for
output changes are correctly handled. With the centralized modeset
infrastructure in place, we can move the logic there. This allows us to
be smarter and avoid extraneous arranges, output manager updates and
transaction commits.

The side-effect is a minor duplication for the special-case
request_state, but the shared path will be relied upon further in future
commits to justify this duplication.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
