If nothing is set explicitly, awful.client.floating.get() applies some sane
defaults:
if c.type ~= "normal"
or c.fullscreen
or c.maximized_vertical
or c.maximized_horizontal
or client.isfixed(c) then
return true
end
return false
So blender is being floated because it is maximized. Having a window maximized
means that it should cover most of the screen and that pretty much conflicts
with being tiled. Thus it has to be "un-tiled" aka made floating.

Well, this bug reports boils down to "blender is started in fullscreen mode" and
awesome obeys.

I planned to look into this issue myself, but Sebastian Parborg (bug reporter)
pinged me on IRC first. Thanks to him I noticed the obvious.
Together, we also figured out the following sub-issue:
So for example if I launch the pref window in blender I have to minimize
blender before I can see it because blender is floating and maximized and
thus the pref window is spawned behind the main blender window.
In Sebastian's config, floating windows get "ontop = true" and thus the pref
window is forced to be behind Blender's main window. (Main window is ontop, the
pref window isn't)
The following rule should work around this (if the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR of a new
window has _NET_WM_STATE_ONTOP set, also set the new window ontop):
{ rule = {}, callback = function(c)
if c.transient_for and c.transient_for.ontop then
c.ontop = true
end
end }
(However, this is untested)
Cheers,
Uli
