Sorry for the delay.
Did you try what I posted previously, and did it work?
Any other developments?
Added on March 12, 2011, 9:16 pmOn a side note, I'm posting some of my old configs from other tiling WMs, in case anyone wants to play with em.
This one is for AwesomeWM 3.4.4.
Awesome uses Lua, whic I find very tedious. Plus it tends to change syntax from version to version, so what you see here (3.4.4) might not work for later version. I've lost interest in AwesomeWM, tbh, it tries too hard to be a DE, and it has other "features" that I'm not too fond of... I think it should be renamed AwfulWM, honestly.
Anyways, enough ranting, here's my old ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
I offer no support whatsoever. If you have questions, search Google or the Awesome/Debian/Ubuntu/Arch forums. I can't be bothered with the sh*t WM anymore, an I take no responsibility over anything that happens.

Some people have had trouble getting their startup apps and wallpaper to when when starting ScrotWM, for example. It's just a matter of creating a simple script, making it executable, and have your GDM/SLIM/.xinitrc config point to it.
.... Or you should try Gentoo one day if you really wanna learn about Linux, but preferably when you're on holiday or unemployed, cos you'll be spending a lot of time. 
But even with all that alien packages it still quite light. Arch migh be my 1st choice if i decide to move out from debian. 
? Coz my modem only give access to nm-applet 
but if i wanted to upgrade to testing , i need to change my source list from squeeze - stable to wheezy - testing only ?
