Has anyone had any strange behavior with awesome since updating xorg-server to 1.16?
Since that upgrade, when switching between two tags which both have at least 1 window, the original tag will stay highlighted, and the "taskbar" will not change. My windows change to show the windows in the tag I switched TO, but the highlighted tag and taskbar stay frozen as if the first tag (tag switched FROM) was still being displayed.
I can "unstick" it by doing things like opening a terminal or changing the window layout.
I have some light customizations to my rc.lua, so I temporarily switched back to the default rc.lua /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua, and still see the same problem.
I was suspecting the xorg-server upgrade, but all packages that upgraded at the same time are:
cryptsetup (1.6.5-1 -> 1.6.5-2)
libdrm (2.4.54-1 -> 2.4.55-1)
libxfont (1.4.7-3 -> 1.5.0-1)
linux (3.15.5-2 -> 3.15.7-1)
virtualbox-guest-modules (4.3.14-1 -> 4.3.14-3)
libepoxy (1.2-2)
xorg-server-common (1.15.2-1 -> 1.16.0-5)
xf86-input-evdev (2.9.0-1 -> 2.9.0-2)
xorg-server (1.15.2-1 -> 1.16.0-5)
virtualbox-guest-utils (4.3.14-1 -> 4.3.14-2)

I have no solution unfortunately, but I can confirm that I have the same problem. Very annoying!

I posted a bug on awesome's bug tracker, got an insanely quick reply. Fixed by passing the '--no-argb' option to awesome. I start awesome in my .xinitrc, so my line there is now "exec awesome --no-argb". This is apparently an xorg bug.
