You solution is actually ho​w I do it now. I was just giving it the thought
as I didn't get bothered by that case yet, when the 'pidgin tag' is active.

Wouldn't focus = false not also work?

​No, I run on ubuntu 13.04, which originally has unity on top of a gnome
backend, so instead of running compiz with unity, I run awesome. Other
components stay the same.
So I don't have any desktop panels of windows from gnome, only awesome
stuff.
The backend is basically gnome-settings-daemon​ and some other things that
get started from lightdm.

intergrating awesome with the gnome backend is fairly easy:

​I should at that the same happens ​if i log in to awesome directly from
lightdm, not as a gnome-session (but eventually starting gnome-session or
gnome-settings-daemon from awesome)

network manager problem when awesome as gnome-session

[Serge van Ginderachter]

Hi,

I just set up awesome to start as a gnome-session, on Ubuntu 13.04,
launched from lightdm, as described on

   http://blog.flowblok.id.au/2012-11/awesome-gnome-configuration.html

This works well, except that I can't enable nor disable WLAN nor WWAN from
the network manager applet.
If I log back in to a standard unity session, no problem.
If I enable Wifi there, and go back to awesome, wifi remains enabled, but I
can't disable it, etc.

Doing an rfkill unblock on the wifi interface doesn't help, network manager
still sees it as not enabled.


Any ideas on what setting is missing in the awesome session?


Thank,


Serge
