Yes, it is less or more the same code as Uli posted, but there is no
need to use xproperty for that, startupid is being cached locally
anyway.
local wait_for_it = {}
local pid,snid = awful.util.spawn("urxvt")
wait_for_it[snid] = function()
print("will be called")
end
client.connect_signal("manage", function (c, startup)
if c.startup_id and wait_for_it[c.startup_id] then
wait_for_it[c.startup_id]()
end
end)
"will be called" will print when the client get managed
