All I needed to do was "exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session awesome". Somehow I was under the impression that ck-launch-session was enough to launch dbus. Apparently not. Thanks a lot guys, it's working perfectly and exactly how I want it now.

Hello Satoshi, Diep Pham Van is probably right, I suppose this may be somewhat connected with gvfs. The link below is about Gentoo, but you should be able to adapt it to Arch http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965.html I do not have personal everyday experience with such configured system (I use uam which is a simple automounter), but I have set up my mother's computer using these instructions, and it works in a way you expect it. Under LXDE and pcmanfm, every drive that is plugged in just shows in the manager and you have an option to mount/umount it.

Re: Awesome - The name!
You know, I'm of the hunch that this sort of thing has been discussed before - as a new user, I agree with the sentiment of this thread, but I don't want to bring up old topics (if this is indeed an old topic).

RE: Awesome - The name!
Hi Alexander, While I understand your comment, I must say that there is a lot more out there than your (a) & (b) and (no disrespect intended) the awesome wiki is not so awesome :-( I have spent MANY hours searching for other snippets of information and they are what allowed me to get through the initial getting started barrier. I'm sure that many people try Awesome but end up stumbling and move on - their loss, but our loss as well as we lose some potentially good contributors! Anyway - It was just throwing out my 2c to see what people thought PS: I don't think that adding WM to the "official" name and not actually changing the code would be a pretty reasonable idea.

Hello, David, I understand what you are talking about. I also have a frustration googling awesome. But the thing is there is no much data on awesome around the web except: a) awesome wiki b) this mailgroup So changing the name so the googling of a dozen of pages becomes easier seems too radical to me. This issue was to be thought in the first place, not after five years passed.
