Hi, I just hit a bad bug. awesome would not start!
I discovered that this was caused by obvious. I use the volume_alsa widget, which runs amixer. But I had pulseaudio installed. And doing a: xtrace amixer -c 0 -- get Master showed that the pulseaudio plugin of alsa was run and tried to connect to the X server to fetch some atoms. The problem is that while startup, awesome is grabbing the X server. Therefore, the awesome startup was totally blocked. Removing pulseaudio resolved the problem for now, but I think we should do something in obvious to avoid that, like unsetting the DISPLAY environment variable. WDYT? -- Julien Danjou
