Dear awesome developers and users,

I'm currently using awesome 3.2 as included in Debian testing and I like it a
lot.  It seems to be the only not entirely fundamentalist and therefore useful
tiling window manager.  Thanks for all the great work!  So far I could not find
the answers to the following two questions.  Perhaps someone can give me a
hint.

(1) I'm quite happy with the standard /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua file but would
    like to change my configuration in some minor ways.  What I can do of
    course is copy the standard rc.lua file to ~/.config/awesome/ and modify
    it, but this has the disadvantage that I miss any future changes to the
    default rc.lua (and awesome might even stop to work after a major upgrade).
    I tried creating a ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua which begins with
    dotfile("/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua") but I fail to see how I could achieve
    the modifications I would like.

    For example, I would like to change the key for starting a program from F1
    to Esc.

    I think it would be very useful to have a standard way of doing incremental
    changes to the standard configuration.

(2) Generally I like to have windows without borders which allows me to have
    two full 80-character-wide windows next to each other on my 1280 pixel wide
    screen.  But when a window is floating it would be nice if it would have a
    border.  Any easy way of setting this up?

thanks a lot
Christoph
