I've noticed a strange behavior of awesome wm, namely that the first time I log in, awesome loads my own rc.lua configuration (from ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua).
However, if I restart (by pressing Ctrl + Mod + r or the menu option) awesome instead loads its default configuration file.
If I quit awesome (thereby logging out) and log in again, awesome loads my own configuration again. If I then restart awesome, it loads its default configuration file again.
Setup details:
* awesome v3.5.6
* lightdm 1.16.5
I've tried running awesome through Xephyr and piping both stdout and stderr to log files, then tailing said log files, but awesome does not print anything to either log.
The only thing I have changed in my own configuration file compared to the included configuration file is the terminal variable.
Otherwise the system is pretty much empty, I installed Arch yesterday so I haven't had the time to do anything yet.

Well, I figured out why it happens. I set `zsh` as my shell, which for some reason makes awesome fail to load the configuration when using the built-in restart (but not when it launches the first time).
Any ideas on how to make it work? I've set `bash` as my shell temporarily, but I'd like to set `zsh` as my default shell, if possible.
