Hello,
I needed to set a given application's new windows as slaves, the same
way it is done for auto-floating or tagging. For instance, an instant
messenging application's new chat windows can be set as slaves, keeping
the roster window as the master (alone in a small width master column).
So here is the tiny configuration to do it with awesome 3.2.1, if it can
be useful.
Regards,
