2013-10-01 06:19:29 Philipp Specht description When using awful.util.spawn() in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua to automatically start programs on login, awesome crashes and sends the user back to the login manager. In 12.10, with awesome 3.4.13-1, awful.util.spawn() worked fine. Also, when using awful.util.spawn_with_shell() in 13.04, the problem does not appear. I was able to consitently reproduce this behaviour on multiple machines. The following error is logged in ~/.xsession-errors: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 12 (X_ConfigureWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 951 Current serial number in output stream: 957 ----- Ubuntu 13.04 (fresh install) awesome 3.4.14-1 When using awful.util.spawn() in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua to automatically start programs on login, awesome crashes and sends the user back to the login manager.
