If rc.lua doesn't create tags when awesome is restarted, by default, there will be no tags. Shifty deals with this situation by attaching its match() function to the 'manage' hook which is executed for each client (window) that is opened. match() function should place the client in a relevant tag which either exist (then the client is merely moved to the tag) or not (in which case shifty will create the tag and then move the client there). > Would this patch cause something like this to happen more easily?

With the current version I haven't had any windows vanishing but if it does happen then there' a bug which should be fixed. If you're experiencing such behavior you should post a report with detailed information as to what gets lost in what circumstances, with what configuration values (and hopefully a reproducible test case). This way we can try to hunt the issue down. thanks, koniu -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-devel-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
