Hi all,

I'm trying to bind a key to move and resize floating windows to specific positions and an absolute height and width. I've tried the code below, but it doesn't work -- anyone have any ideas how to get it to work?

Thanks!

clientkeys = awful.util.table.join(
    awful.key({ modkey,           }, "u",
        function (c)
            c:geometry( {x = 50, y = 50, width = 200, height = 600} )
        end)
)

Thanks everyone! you guys are aweeeesome! It's working with "libreoffice-writer", the problem was the space between libreoffice and -writer. This is a great forum, so much love.

@lula

When I use xprop I get:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "libreoffice-writer"

If the WM_CLASS(STRING) is what's needed in Awesome - and as I recall it is - you'll need to take out the space between libreoffice and -writer; as well as the space gutterslob is talking about.

If you look closely (2nd last line), you'll notice a space between the " and the libreoffice launch command. Could that be the reason?
Sorry, I've got no experience with libreoffice, and I haven't used awesome in a long time, so I can't make any further guesses.

Whenever I have had a problem with opening an app on a specific window it turned out to be the name of the class was wrong - just a small thing like a capital L instead of a small l can mean all the difference.

Did someone manage to compile awesome 3.5? I get always the error glib-unix.h missing.

Hey guys.
I just installed awesome-wm and I think something's not right.
After a fresh install when I launch awesome, I right click and click on manual or config buttons but none of them work; nothing opens.
Also, I tried using someone else's config but it did not detect any configs in the ~/.config/awesome folder so I tried replacing the config in /etc/xdg/awesome.
After I did that and restarted awesome-wm it showed an error and brought me back to login screen.

Did this happen to anyone ?

What do I do ?
Thanks.

@M.I.H.H :

Type in terminal uname -r
The last word you see ( eg. amd64 or i686 ) note it down.
Go to ----> http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/awesome
Scroll to bottom , you'll see kind of a table. Click on the word that corresponds to the output of uname -r
A .deb file will be downloaded, install it.

Haven't used conky in a long time but I believe 'own_window = no' should get you to your happy place.

This sounds more like a Pulseaudio-related problem to me.
