I sort-of can move windows. They move, but they don't show up on the
second screen. If I remember where I dropped them, I can drag them
back and they appear again as they cross the screen border. The
mouse cursor is always visible.

I narrowed down my problem. If I use the default awesome session I
get exactly the desired behaviour after launching
xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --right-of LVDS1
If I use a custom gnome-awesome session (with GNOME Version 3.4.2) I
get the described weird behaviour. So apparently gnome interferes
with awesome.
My gnome-session file simply contains:
#!/bin/bash
exec unagi&
exec gnome-session --session awesome "$@"
I deactivated the gnome xrandr plugin at
`org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr` but it didn't fix it.
It might not be on-topic any longer, but maybe one of you guys are
also running Gnome together with awesome and know how to fix this.
