Prevent /new/ windows from taking focus

2013-06-02 Thread Hans Georg Schaathun
Dear all, I have tried googling this question, but all I get is false hits solving slightly different problems. Can someone help, please? How can I prevent newly created windows from stealing focus? The best tip I found in my search was to search for `manage' in rc.lua and comment out a

Sound without desktop environment

2012-05-01 Thread Hans Georg Schaathun
I suddenly realised that awesome does not give me sound. Root can play music, but I cannot; not even as group audio. It used to work when I used the xfce4-session, but using awesome without a DE, it does not. Google gives me plenty of hits explaining how to debug sound in various DE's, but not

Any tag on any screen

2012-04-30 Thread Hans Georg Schaathun
It would be very convenient if all screens could share one list of tags, such that any tag could be picked up by any screen at any time. In utopia, it would of course be possible to display a tag on both screens simultaneously. Potentially making the same window display twice with different

$SHELL = /usr/bin/awesome ?

2012-04-29 Thread Hans Georg Schaathun
Why does awesome set the $SHELL environment to /usr/bin/awesome? xterm uses this to tell which shell to run as default command, and as long as I remember, it has given the user a straight forward way to choose his shell for use with X11. With awesome, simply spawning xterm from a menu or key
