Run a GNOME 3.x session but use awesome for window management
The scripts in this repository create a new session in GDM called "Awesome-WM + GNOME". The requirements are gnome-flashback and awesome 4.3. Earlier versions of awesome don't integrate well with GTK and are sort of buggy.
Because gnome-flashback isn't always packaged you might need grab a copy of it from somewhere. Below you can find packages and repositories that worked for me.
sudo apt-get install gnome gnome-flashback gnome-icon-theme gnome-themes-extra makeRun the following with if you have sudo installed
sudo make installsudo make uninstall
