Thanks a million! Just to have it documented, this seems to do what I want:
-- {{{ Rules
awful.rules.rules = {
-- All clients will match this rule.
{ rule = { },
properties = { border_width = beautiful.border_width,
border_color = beautiful.border_normal,
focus = false, lower=true,
keys = clientkeys,
buttons = clientbuttons } },
{ rule = { class = "MPlayer" },
properties = { floating = true , lower=false, focus=true } },
{ rule = { class = "pinentry" },
properties = { floating = true, lower=false, focus=true} },
{ rule = { class = "gimp" },
properties = { floating = true } },
}
-- }}}
-- {{{ Signals
-- Signal function to execute when a new client appears.
client.add_signal("manage", function (c, startup)
if not startup then
-- Put windows in a smart way, only if they does not set an initial
position.
if not c.size_hints.user_position and not c.size_hints.program_position
then
awful.placement.no_overlap(c)
awful.placement.no_offscreen(c)
end
end
if c.transient_for == client.focus then
client.focus=c
c:raise()
end
end)
