-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
I added a new desktop file (below) to the xsessions directory to start with a non-default awesone config file, and everything is working now, but I am not happy that I have to specify the complete path in the -c : I tried Exec=awesome -c ~/.config/awesome/rc.shifty.lua Exec=awesome -c $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.shifty.lua in the assumption that this would be evaluated after the variables are set, but this is not the case - in both cases, the file rc.shifty.lua was not found. Only when using, as below, Exec=awesome -c /home/rkrug/.config/awesome/rc.shifty.lua it worked. This is not a problem as I am the only user, but I would like to know what the best way is to specify the awesome config file.
