Do not you think that this fix the following warning message:
gnome-session[1613]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'awesome' of required
component 'windowmanager'

I get it after following instructions at
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome

This seems your approach obsoletes the creation of
.config/autostart/awesome.desktop, that I think it is a workaround for the
problem behind he warning message.

So, if creating this .desktop file under /usr/share/applications works
without creating the autostart desktop file (I tested it and it works
actually), do you know what is the analogous place in home directory to add
applications .desktop files?

thanks,
Daniel
