awesome in squeeze

A couple of (kinda boring) shots of AwesomeWM in Debian Squeeze.

The empty desktop, browser minimized (no desktop icons, of course):


And, showing the main menu, accessed here by right-clicking on the desktop, with the Debian menu opened up:


I'm not very good at using tiling window managers, probably because I really don't use them all that much. When I log into AwesomeWM, I actually have to open up man awesome because I always forget the key  bindings and mouse bindings.


man awesome gives you the default mouse and key bindings, and other information, so I guess there's no reason to list those things here. man awesomerc and man awesome-client are a couple of other important manual pages.
