Because awesome seems to lack an inbuild method of starting programs at startup
(unlike my previous wm-of-choice, fluxbox), and kdm, gdm and other display
managers completely ignore .xinitrc and .Xsession, I made the following wrapper
script:
#!/bin/bash
STARTFILE=${HOME}/.config/awesome/startup
if [ ! -e $STARTFILE ]; then
touch $STARTFILE
chmod +x $STARTFILE
fi
$STARTFILE
exec awesome
Then I modified the /usr/share/xsessions/awesome.desktop to run the wrapper
script. (KDM uses the mentioned .desktop file, at least on Gentoo). The programs
to start should be placed in the ~/.config/awesome/startup file.
Maybe something similar could be integrated in the future versions of awesome?
