Public bug reported:

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
