OK, so I spent much of the day trying to get Awesome set up on my work
computer. It's an RHEL5 platform and I don't have root, so it was a bit
of an adventure.
I'm running 3.4.12 with the default rc.lua.
I rebuild all the dependencies and got it to the point where it runs and
mostly works, but the information bar at the top as well as the
right-click menus don't have any text.
here's the bar:

here's what a single menu entry looks like:

but they are functional: I can see the color move around for the current
tag, and click on tags to change to it, and click on menu entries to get
stuff to happen.
The terminal where I did startx contains lots of messages like
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
W: awesome: xerror:809: X error: request=(null), error=(null)
Any ideas what could be going wrong or how to diagnose it? Keep in mind
that I have some mess of self-built libraries and old RHEL5 libraries. I
*have* run Awesome on here before successfully though, but I didn't
build it then (and I don't think that build lives on).
