[Awesome] Mouse doesn't function inside windows.

Hello,

I am trying to get the Awesome window manager to work on Arch Linux, but I am having a lot of difficulty with the fact that the mouse doesn't function while the cursor is inside a window.

I can right-click outside a window and left-click on "open terminal" to open an instance of XTerm, but I can't move windows, re-size windows, click on any of the buttons in the top-right of the windows, or even do things like highlight text in a window.

I know the mouse itself is fine, because I use it on an everyday basis on my Windows 10 machine.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Reloading with Win+Ctrl+r allows me to use my mouse in the window for things like highlighting text, but I still can't click on the window decoration buttons in the top-right.
