Hello,
After a long time of ion3, I decided to give awesome a shot and like it.
I have one issue with the config though and would appreciate any hints on
this:
The config contians references to scribus here:
...
floatapps =
{
...,
["scribus"] = true,
....
}
...
apptags =
{
...
["scribus"] = {screen = 1, tag = 6},
...
}
The screen definition contains this:
for s = 1, screen.count() do
tags[s] = {}
end
...
tags[1][6] = tag({name="Graphics"})
tags[1][6].screen = 1
awful.layout.set(layouts[10], tags[1][6])
...
where "layouts[10]" corresponds to "awful.layout.suit.floating"
I would now expect that scribus is being started in tag[1][6] (which it is)
in a floating mode. The latter however is not the case: it is always
maximized and I don't seem to be able to change the clients floating state
...
Can anyone reproduce this and/or tell me where I err (I attach the full conf
file)?
Thanks for any hints, Joh
