Besides the fact that I don't actually want automounting, they also had issues such as not allowing me to unmount via the filemanager, not automatically showing up in the filemanager (I have to close and open it again for it to show up as mounted), and not disappearing in the filemanager when unmounted. I have a feeling udisks-glue will work similarly to those two. They are mounting those devices but they are not really making the filemanager SEE that there are new devices inserted or removed. Probably just running "mount" automatically in the background, which is fine for the moment for me to at least have access to those devices, but not really an elegant solution for my use case.

I would like to avoid automounting since some of my frequent tasks involve partitioning and formatting external storage devices, so automounting would add another step (unmounting) to that process. I will try my hand at udisks-glue, however, since as it stands I have absolutely no access to external storage at all via the filemanager.

External storage devices not showing up in filemanagers
Hey, guys, I'm having issues with external storage devices that do not show up in filemanagers. I read the wiki page on automounting but it seems to be a different thing than what I need. Previously, in Xfce, I REALLY disliked automounting, so I would generally just insert the pendrive or whatever and it would show up, unmounted, in the filemanager's list of storage devices. When I wanted to access it I would click on it in the file managers and only then would the device be actually mounted. I find that in awesome the filemanager is oblivious to any changes to connected storage. I do not want automounting per se, I just want connected devices to show up, available to be mounted when I so wish, in filemanagers. I'm using Archlinux, awesome 3.4.11, and launching it via startx. The exact line in my .xinitrc is: "exec ck-launch-session awesome". The filemanagers I'm using are thunar and nautilus, both working as expected in xfce. My previous gentoo-powered awesome installation also had that behavior, so I'm sure it's not something xfce-specific. Any help or tips appreciated.

Wow, thanks a lot, it works perfectly.
Re: Welcome to awesome@naquadah.org
Maybe the problem is your menu, not the clicking. Try opening an aplication (Super + R and typing the command) and see if the clicks work there.

tint2, awesome and app launcher prompt
Hey, guys, lately I've been meaning to replace my wibox with tint2, but there's two issues I've encountered: Clicking a task in the taskbar will focus the app, but won't raise it. In pure openbox it does work, so I'm guessing there's something about the interaction with awesome. Also, what could I use to replace the Mod4+r prompt? I'm looking for something light and sleak, preferably somewhat like tint2/wibox launcher themselves in appearance (that is, lxlauncher and the like aren't quite what I want).

It didn't work. I need the spacer to be INSIDE the tasklist, between
each program. I would guess that this is where I should edit it:
/usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/widget/tasklist.lua (123-125):
text = text .. ""
return text, bg, status_image, c.icon
end
Substituting "text" for "nil" works, but then there's no space between
the icons. Not to mention that the wibox is still small.

Of course!
The transparency looks good, but it depends a lot on the wallpaper
used. Some make everything in it completely invisible. I have to
adjust the transparency depending on my wallpaper (I use random ones
on startup). I can't think of anything to remedy that other than using
only a limited set of wallpapers, barred using imagemagick to somehow
blur/darken that strip of the image in a way that light colors image
will not make make the text invisible.
Also, it doesn't seem to be able to apply the transparency to the
systray widget..

Re: Transparent (sort of) wibox
Alright, got it. Now, how do I modify the wibox size? If I set the tasklist to only show icons, how do I put a space between two icons?

Transparent (sort of) wibox
Just out of curiosity, is there a way to emulate Windows Seven's panel with a wibox? Namely it being almost completely transparent but greatly blurring the wallpaper. Doesn't have to be the same as the Windows panel, just transparency or some other neat effect is cool. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.

Remember window position and size
I'm pretty sure I saw something like this somewhere, but I can't find it for the life of me, so here it is: How do I make windows in some layouts always stay on the same place and at the same size? For example, I want xterm to always be placed to the left in a tiled layout screen, xmms to the right and xchat on the bottom, but significantly larger than all other windows, no matter the order I open them in. (This is not a real case scenario, just an example.) This could work either by manually setting it all in a config file or, preferably, if I just resize/move to my liking and then have it keep that as default.
Mouse cursor changes when running scripts
Hello,
I have the following key binding in my rc.lua:
awful.key({ }, "Print", function () awful.util.spawn("scrot
'%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.png' -e 'mv $f /mnt/Dados2/Imagens/Screenshots/ 2>
/dev/null'") end),
However, when I press Printscreen, the mouse cursor turns into that little
clock (not sure what's the correct terminology here) and stays like that
for
a long time. Sometimes it goes back to normal quickly, but there are times
it stays like that for minutes. It seems it's something I do that reverts
it, but
I am unsure what.
Is that behavior normal? Is there a way to have it not happen?
