Hi I have been using awesome as my window manager of choice for about a year now - it's great, and has increased my productivity (or at least: stopped the annoying routine of move-resize windows constantly).
But now I desire to use the gnome3 panel too - and the thing won't start at login!? I log into a (customised) gnome session, and have thus done I have awesome configured in my gnome session and thus did this in the past to set things up: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop False gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager awesome which works fine. I also have (in gconf): /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel set to "gnome-panel" and yet there is no sign of the panel starting at login time. Not even complaints in ~/.xsession-errors ... I also tried copying /usr/share/applications/gnome-panel.desktop to ~/.config/autostart - still no luck... Other apps from ~/.config/autostart get started OK.... Annoyingly enough, if I run "gnome-panel" from within awesome, it starts up OK and things look OK !? But I want it to start automagically!! Any ideas on how I can diagnose this and/or narrow it down? FWIIW I'm running an up-to-date wheezy install - gnome-panel version 3.4.2.1-4 ... Any help would be appreciated... -- Karl E.
