Package: awesome
Version: 2.0.final-1
Severity: normal

Awesome should deal with bad configuration more gracefully.
Currently, it simply dies if it does not like ~/.awesomerc .  I would
prefer that awesome substituted default configuration instead.  For
example, I removed the layouts (assuming awesome would use its
defaults) and this caused awesome to crash.

Ideally, awesome should warn about these errors when loading or
reloading the configuration file, so the user knows to correct their
configuration.  However, it should not die.
