Public bug reported:
As the title says, when pressing Mod4+Control+r or logging in after restarting,
awesome-WM hangs indefinitely. How to reproduce:
1. Log in to awesome-WM without *any* custom configuration
2. mkdir ~/.config/awesome/
3. vim ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
4. Add a configuration directive
5. Mod4+Control+r
This resulted in an empty desktop and no application windows anymore. I
tried first to reboot and log in again, but that didn't work (it hung
with just the background image from the login screen showing).
5. Ctrl+Alt+F1
6. vim ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
7. Removed the only line in the file, and saved.
8. Mod4+Control+r
Hung again.
9. Ctrl+Alt+F1
10. rm ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
11. killall awesome
12. Log in again
This worked. I've tried to add other configuration directives
afterwards, but no go. It *always* hangs if ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
exists.
