[SOLVED] Can NOT send "Miro" to Screen "1" by awesome?

I am trying to set up a rule to set Miro to my second screen (screen "1")

However, it doesn't work.

Below it the rule I put in my .awesomerc
  rule {
    name = "Miro*"
    tags = "8:Media"
    screen = 1
    float = "true"
    master = "true"
  }

I am able to send other applications to this specific tag on screen "1" and
I am also able to send "Miro" to any tag on screen "0".

Is this a bug?

I am running awesome 2.2-2 on Archlinux (x86_64) with Nvidia TwinView setup.

Try checking with xprop if miro is the exact name. You can also set xproperty_name = "" if i remember correctly (which you can also see with xprop).

Check out man awesomerc

I fixed this problem by adding
float ="true"

before the line of
screen
tags

...

It seems that if I didn't do this, Miro will place itself on screen 0 (x=0, y=0) no matter what tag I assign to it.
