Bug#852075: mouse.screen => m.s.index in example

[Reiner Herrmann]

Control: reassign -1 awesome-extra 2017090101

Reassigning this bug to awesome-extra, because the file
/usr/share/awesome/lib/shifty/example.rc.lua is shipped there.

When using the example rc.lua I also get several deprecation warnings.
It probably needs to be updated for the current awesome API.

[Simon Séhier]

This is how I fixed the call to terminal, so that it spawn on the screen
under the mouse cursor:

Package: awesome
Version: 4.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

if built my rc.lua with
/usr/share/awesome/lib/shifty/example.rc.lua. After the upgrade to awesome
4.0 I've got the error "attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)" when
pressing mod+r or mod+x. I've changed mouse.screen to mouse.screen.index
and now it works. I'm not very familiar with the awesome library and don't
know if the change is intended or mouse.screen should still work.
