Multiple Tags for Programs

I seem to recall reading this is possible when I was first thinking about switching to Awesome. But I can't find in the wiki how to do it. I want the Skype window to show up in all tags. How do I accomplish that? Lane -- *Lane Lester* Codger's Cogitations: Reflections on Life and

Re: [off-topic] A good terminal emulator for tiling WMs?

I decided to try Eterm as the replacement terminal program. What I've observed is that, after I execute Eterm, my program launch of choice, PieDock, no longer works. Furthermore, I cannot restart it without first getting out of X. So I'm back "in the market" for a good terminal program. Lane

Vertical Widgets?

Before I started using awesome, I almost always had Conky monitors providing information about my system. Now I have several widgets in the statusbar performing some of those functions. The problem is the widgets take up more room than I'd like them to have. So I would like to have a statusbar do

Re: Controlling Floating Window Position

Reading what to do in the wiki wasn't enough for a newbie like me. It said this: How to prevent floating clients opening offscreen? Enable *awful.placement* calls in your manage signal handler: -- Floating clients don't overlap, cover -- the titlebar or get placed offscreen awful.placem

Which rc.lua does restart read?

I made a change in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua and then executed { "restart", awesome.restart }, from the awesome menu. Awesome restarted with a second set of nine tags in the titlebar and all the settings were the installed defaults, rather than what I had in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua Lane

Controlling Floating Window Position

I've been using awesome for a few months now and have become comfortable with most of its special features. However, there is one nuisance I haven't been able to solve. I mostly use a floating layout, and when I load a second program in a particular tag, it almost always is high on the screen, par

Re: Beginner Needs a Pointer

Thanks to all for the tips and encouragement. You and I both know there are projects where only those who have no life other than the project are welcome. So I thought it would be a good idea to learn that right away. I'm in Gnome right now, so let me look at rc.lua as Matti suggested before I jum
