I have now updated my tweaks to work with Qubes 3.2 rc3/ Fedora 23. I have also made it use dex (called dex-autostart in fedora) to run the xdg autostart desktop files, which fixes on key blocker in https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1756 Finally I have packaged it all as rpms (or at least source which builds the rpms). The main rpm package repository is at https://gitlab.com/markwalters1009/qubes-desktop-linux-awesome However, rather than have the rpm apply lots of patches to upstream awesome I have squashed most of them together. To see the separated out changes I have a separate awesome-for-qubes source repository at https://gitlab.com/markwalters1009/awesome-source-for-qubes All the changes there are small so it would be easy to cherry-pick those that are wanted. NOTES 1) The last two commits in the rpm repository are not relevant: they are there for users who want to build the rpm. 2) Broadly things seem to work as expected -- monitor layout changes, screensaver etc, colours of windows etc 3) At the moment I have set it so dex autostarts all the things XFCE does. This is probably close but not quite right, but I didn't want to get into modifying the .desktop files.
