I think, I am making progress. But I also think I have reached the end of what I can do without breaking things. See the end of this message for a patch that works but that is unlikely to be correct. First, let's review what I have done, as that should shed some light on how things are supposed to

I have been using awesome for many years. I install it as the window manager in a GNOME fallback session on Ubuntu. In other words, I have all of the GNOME session manager, and I have the old-school GNOME panel. But everything else is awesome. This has worked beautifully for as long as I can remem
