When embedded, st fails with BadMatch error if the embedder's window has non-default colormap/depth/visual. This commit fixes that by creating st's window inside root and then reparent it into embedder. The reference window for dc.gc is also changed to match root's visuals. A similar commit had been made for dmenu[1]. See this issue[2] on github for context.

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.
Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running st
----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:
tic -sx st.info
See the man page for additional details.
