Uhm, works fine here. I didn't actually try your config, but instead I copied
over your config. Then I added the call to move_clients_from_other_screens() to
the wrong keybinding (whoops!) and thus added some extra diagnostics (how can
you live with print()? Use naughty.notify()!). After noticing my error,
everything worked fine for me.
Diff to the default config is attached.
I tested this with git/master, but I can't see why it wouldn't work with awesome
3.4.11.
I assume you didn't disable Xinerama? (= Can you make clients floating and move
them to the other screen "by hand"?)
