### Debugging tips
You can call `awesome` with `gdb` like this:
DISPLAY=:2 gdb awesome
Then in gdb set any args and run it:
(gdb) set arg --replace
(gdb) run
Inside gdb you can use the following to print the current Lua stack traceback:
(gdb) print luaL_dostring(globalconf.L.real_L_dont_use_directly, "print(debug.traceback())")
