I am a bit confused. Maybe some of you may help me. I used awesome as my window manager for some time now. I decided to give awesome+gnome a try since I read about the gnome-awesome applet.
I have followed the [tutorial][1] found on the awesome wiki in order
to set up my environment. I can resume what I have down in the
following three lines:
gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list -t list
--list-type string "[windowmanager,panel,filemanager]"
gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager -t
string awesome
cat <<TOTO >${HOME}/.local/share/applications/awesome.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Awesome
Comment=The awesome launcher!
TryExec=awesome
Exec=awesome
TOTO

I then started GDM and log in.
Gnome started well but :
1. The network-manager applet is started but invisible in the gnome-panel.
The only way to get it visible is to kill ot and restart it :
pkill nm-applet
nm-applet &
2. When I log out, awesome is still running
So here are my questions :
* How did you, guys, configure your gnome environment to run awesome
as the window manager ?
* Did some of you have the same trouble as me ?
I really like gnome-awesome-applet but I have one problem: my box is
running thank's to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. The default gnome theme (which I
do not dislike) has a dark background on the gnome panel. It is thus
difficult to see what layout is on (as you can see on the attached
snapshot).
* Do you know of a way to change the foreground color of the applet ?
