I note that wmii seems to have the same spawn issue in my recently upgraded 9.04 install.
Also of note: The awesomewm v3 in 9.10 has had what looks like a related upstream update: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awesome/3.3~rc1-1 " + New spawn code based on glib (Closes: #501291)" that relates to the debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501291 Not sure if this is related, but... It'd be really good to have an awesomewm version that works. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #501291 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501291 -- Cannot spawn windows in Awesome window manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
