[Solved] "slim: failed to execute login command" after awesomewm updat

Hi,

i updated some weeks ago via pacman -Syu, where also awesome wm was updated from 3.4.* to 3.5.* so I updated my rc.lua as it is told on their wiki, but i cant login with my rc.lua anymore i got the failed to execute login command error from slime. If i use the shipped efault rc.lua it works fine, can someone help me to figure out whats wrong with my rc.lua?

Edit:
Besides a lot of other errors the problem was the systray. It was created 2 times, now login works again. I figured that out via enabling logging for awesome in the xinitrc again.
