That's quite a 'solution' and quite a claim.

Not with awesome 3.5.9, no. Sorry.

However, for the next major release we are working on changing this[0]. This
requires quite some changes, because all the code right now assumes that all
screens are already known when the config file is loaded and doesn't change 
later.

If you have some "frequent patter" for this, the only suggestion that I have is
to configure some more of these settings in your config. You can e.g. use
awful.tag.setmwfact(0.3, tags[1][3]) in your rc.lua to configure a "default"
mwfact for the third tag.

Also not helpful:  have you tried just using vim in xterm?  That works
great for me, but you might be using plugins/features that terminal vim
doesn't support.  But, if you are just using vanilla Gvim, then you might
consider giving terminal vim a try.

I know that this isn't helpful at all, but this sounds like a problem with GVim.
A BadPicture means that gvim sent a request to the X11 server to act on some
picture, but that picture does not exist (or is not suitable for this request
due to some other reason). The window manager has nothing to do with Pictures,
so hm.

The only recommendations that I can give is to try other (newer?) versions of
gvim, gtk and cairo (the drawing library used by gtk).

Sorry & good luck,
Uli

AFAIK, the only solution is to switch to i3wm.
Awesome does not yet work very well with external monitors.

AwesomeWM + Gvim resize crashes (segfault)

[Jeroen Budts]

Hi all,

A few days ago I started using Awesome as my window manager (running
inside XFCE on xubuntu 15.10). The versions from the repository are
v3.5.6 (awesome) and 7.4.712 (gvim). I upgraded Awesome to 3.5.9 using a
ppa[1].
When Gvim gets resized, either because I resize the master-pane of
awesome, or simply by switching Awesome layout, Gvim will frequently
hang and/or crash.
From what I could find it seems to be a segfault, but I have no clue
what is causing this. In the past I have been using Gvim without any
problems with xfwm4 (default xfce window manager). I also tried xmonad
for a week where I didn't see these crashes when similarly resizing the
xmonad master-pane or switching layouts.

This is what I saw in the Ubuntu crash-submit tool:
 vim.gnome crashed with sigsegv in get_syntax_atttr()

When starting gvim with `strace gvim -V9log.txt file.tex > stdout.txt 2>
stderr.txt` I got the following in stdout.txt:
RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)
Vim: Got X error
Vim: Finished.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Screen attach/detach: avoid restart?

[Jeroen Budts]

Hi all,

When I attach or detach an external screen (using xrandr) it seems
Awesome automatically restarts.
Is there any way to avoid this? During a regular working day I happen to
connect/disconnect my screen easily 3 to 5 times. This causes my layouts
to reset each time (size of master pane, number of applications in the
master etc), which is a bit annoying. This also causes scratch.drop
(https://awesomewm.org/wiki/Scratchpad_manager) to lose track of the
applications so they become regular tiled applications.

I'm using awesome 3.5.9 inside XFCE on Xubuntu 15.10.

Thanks for any help,
Jeroen
