I hacked together support for custom netwm icons set in the rules
section of .awesomerc, and for iconboxes and netwm icons to be scaled
to fit into the statusbar. It could probably be done a bit more
cleanly than I've done it, though :)

awesome
=======
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
It's based on dwm.
Requirements
------------
In order to build awesome you need the Xlib header files, libconfuse and cairo.
Creating the man pages also requires recent versions of the asciidoc and xmlto
tools.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (awesome is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install awesome (if
necessary as root):
make install
Running awesome
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using gdm/kdm/xdm...:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a ~/.awesomerc file.
An example is provided in the sources.
