How to reproduce the issue: Exact copy of the issue below with the same reproduction steps. https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3047

I've downgraded my awesome to a version from 2021 and it works again Don't mind the "lgi not found" error, it doesnt matter and is not the issue here.

Closing, because turns out this is not an awesome issue, but just nixos using the release version of awesome and not git. This is the fix for nixos 24.05

  services.xserver.windowManager.awesome = {
    enable = true;
    package = pkgs.awesome.overrideAttrs (previousAttrs: {
      patches =
        previousAttrs.patches
        ++ [
          (builtins.toFile "fixwmctrl.patch" ''
            diff --git i/ewmh.c w/ewmh.c

yeah, "stable" version of awesomewm is broken by design, unfortunately: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3937
