Package: awesome
Version: 3.4.11-2
Severity: important
Weird bug that started appearing after the squeeze to wheezy
upgrade. First problem: the ssh-askpass window doesn't actually show
up in tiled layouts, but instead appears below all other windows. This
doesn't happen in a floating layout. I wonder if this may be due to my
rc.lua, but I am not sure.
The more serious bug, which I am reporting here, is that forcing that
window to show up on top completely crashes awesome, sending me back
to the gdm login screen.
My rc.lua has a meta-t key to toggle the above setting of a
window. Since the window doesn't actually show up on top, I figured
that setting that would make the window show up properly.
Instead, hitting that key spontaneously crashes the whole X session,
by destroying awesome, I suspect.
Here is my rc.lua:
