The following task has a new comment added:

FS#1069 - awesome >= 3.5 does only recognize 1 screen with xinerama off
User who did this - Uli Schlachter (psychon)

Yes, some other branch. And no, it should work without starting two instances.

Here is the (main part of) the mail that I sent to Abort Retry Fail and David 
Olsen. One of them wrote back and promised to test on monday and then vanished, 
the other one never replied at all. Yay... Somehow I lost interest after this 
and I won't be having much time to look into this any time soon anyway (plus, 
my laptop's power supply unit broke and thus currently I am truely unable to 
work on this anyway).



Expected issues are a ton of deprecation warnings because I only did the most
basic changes to the default config and the lua libraries to get things running.
E.g. tooltips will always appear on the primary screen and lots of other things
will, too (and they will generate a deprecation warning while doing so). But
everything that doesn't generate a deprecation warning should work fine.
Hopefully. Did I already mention, that I basically didn't test this code at all?

If you don't have a heavily customized config (upgrading from 3.4 to 3.5 /
newer-than-latest-git can be a pain) and I didn't mess up too badly, it would be
nice to hear that you are actually using this newer awesome.

Instructions for building this code (yes, I did actually test this, but that
doesn't guarantee much and yes, I am assuming that you have the needed build
dependencies installed):

# Create a directory where we can install awesome to without root. This makes
# sure that you can clean up again with rm -rf /usr/local/awesome
sudo mkdir /usr/local/awesome
sudo chown $USER /usr/local/awesome
# Get the source code
git clone git://git.naquadah.org/awesome.git
cd awesome
git checkout origin/zaphod-mode-support
# Build and install it
make install CMAKE_ARGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/awesome"
# Enjoy! Start awesome with the default config.
/usr/local/awesome/bin/awesome

If I actually fix some of your complaints and you want to update this awesome
copy: cd awesome && git pull && git checkout origin/zaphod-mode-support && make
install CMAKE_ARGS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/awesome"

And to answer the "how tricky would it be?"-question that someone else asked,
right now we are at three days of working on this and:
$ git diff --stat master..zaphod-mode-support | tail -n 1
