Update: I opened a bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465288. There is a reference to the Awesome upstream bug which resulted in the change to the desktop file, along with a link to a LightDM upstream bug that sounds like what was happening on my system.
I hope I didn't aggravate anybody with this thread, I don't usually rant publicly like this (I'm sort of ashamed, actually). I do consider the information relevant to Awesome users, though, since the change might also hit users of kdm, gdm, and others. In fact, Fedora also has a bug about this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901434. -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
