Learning About the Awesome Window Manager WM

July 3rd, 2009

I'm enjoying the learning process involved with setting up Awesome. Its working for me, though I did encounter quite a few gotchas:

Here's what I setup: .xinitrc / .Xsession

nm-applet &

exec awesome

Then I copied the default rc.lua:

cp /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua

I messed around with rc.lua for awhile, but just couldn't figure out anything useful. Eventually I'll figure it out, but first I have to figure out the tags.

I'm glad the config file is written in Lua, as I've been trying to learn more of it lately.

UPDATE: I'm also using slim as my display manager now.
