Re: Some questions from an awesome beginner

[Eugen Dedu]

I suppose that you use gnome-panel, is that right?  The problem with me 
is that it is exactly gnome-panel which does not work on my computer, 
and this since several months now.  Now, gnome flashback does not even 
start on my computer.

intergrating awesome with the gnome backend is fairly easy:

another thing you could do would be to run awesome on top of a desktop
environment, replacing its default window manager. this solution tends to
be a bit messy, but can also save a lot of time. i've had a good deal of
luck running awesome on top of the MATE desktop, for example. 
here<https://github.com/shmibs/aweseom-MATE-config>are my configs for doing so.

Hello,

before I will answer some of your questions, I'd point you to a
fundamental difference - while Gnome is a complete desktop
environment, awesome is just(?) a window manager.
You will need to use some additional tools to get the results you have
out-of-the-box in gnome. Gnome also probably uses some separate
programs, just installs and configures them without your
interaction...


nautilus started for icons on background,
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Autostart

screensaver at ctrl-alt-l
Install a screensaver and configure it to use a shortcut.

automounting
Use udev rules or helper programs or autoFS in kernel

audio applet,
Install audio applet of your choice

suspend2ram when closing the lid (see below for others)?

Use/configure acpid

How to enable sloppy focus (or focus follows mouse) for all windows?

Hmm, with which windows do you have troubles?

How to make resize the window by clicking on all the sides of the window
frame (not only the bottom-right corner)?

How to add the classical minimize, maximize and close to titlebar
instead of
the five

awesome is tiling WM, which eliminates 99% of situations where you
would need these, thus I have never thought about them.

Whe I press the keys for audio level, gnome poped up a small dialog on
the
screen with volume level, how can this be done with awesome?

Install an appropriate application, bind it to volume keys.

On a terminal for ex., removing at the beginning of a line made an error
sound.  How to enable error sound with awesome?

Configure terminal.

How to enlarge the height of the statusbar and the size of the fonts
used
inside?  Currently, on my 1920x1200 15"4 screen the statusbar is too
small.

Edit theme.lua of your current theme.

I also notices that the keyboard time before repeating key has changed.
  Is
that right?

These things are configured by xset.

HTH,
Paweł
