I can't get awesome 3.2.1 to register my windows/super key. It works in 3.1. (Also worked in git .9999 ebuild, until git head changed enough that some deps are no longer in portage.... Hence me trying 3.2.1) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install awesome 3.2.1 and try to use the super modifier 2. 3. Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: Modifier should work. Awesome is not awesome when it doesn't work # emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.11 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.28-thinkpad-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-thinkpad-r2-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T8300_@_2.40GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:00:17 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.4-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/jokey /usr/portage/local/layman/sugar /home/matt/work/gentoo/overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdaudio cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo ffmpeg firefox fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde ldap libnotify mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg symlink sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis xcb xml xorg xulrunner xv xvmc yahoo zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Oh, here's the only info I could find using search-fu: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70377
According to awesome IRC channel topic "awesome 'Complicated' 3.2.1 released | awesome 3.2.1 does _not_ work with xcb-util 0.3.4, stay with 0.3.3 unless you use the git version of awesome". I thought I tried the 3.2.1 / xcb-util-0.3.3 last night but (I guess not cause) today it's working. So the dep for 3.2.1 should be =x11-libs/xcb-util-0.3.3 instead of >=x11-libs/xcb-util-0.3.3
Fixed in cvs. thanks.

(In reply to comment #3) > Fixed in cvs. thanks. Really, this is not a fix. The real fix will be to backport the appropriate bugfix from project git. Instead you just required fixed version of a library, thus causing a lot of blocking with packages which use the latest version of xcb-util without problems. And now users must either mask >x11-libs/xcb-util-0.3.3 or fix this bug on their own. This is definitely a hack, but not a solution.
There's a new awesome release (3.3_rc1) which should fix this bug. See http://awesome.naquadah.org/download/.
