Hi Johannes,
First of all, I don't know if you did a copy paste, but at the end of your
config file you'd better write :
run_once("firefox")
awful.rules.rules = rules_ALWAYS
Nevertheless, I don't know if you can change rules on the fly... Reading
the code quicly, it seems possible.
Let us know about the last line of your rc.lua, we will see deeper after.
Kind regards,
Alexis
