[SOLVED] Awesome WM - Mouse Doesn't Work on Client Objects

I am new to Arch and awesome and I haven't tampered with the default rc.lua but my mouse doesn't do anything when used on windows(clients). It does in fact work everywhere else e.g. the root window, the menu-bar... Below is the relevant part of my rc.lua, even though its the default.

clientbuttons = aweful.util.table.join(
aweful.button({ }, 1, function(C) client.focus = c; c:raise() end),
aweful.button({modkey}, 1, aweful.mouse.client.move),
aweful.button({modkey}, 3, aweful.mouse.client.resize))

...

aweful.rules.rules = {
{rule = {},
properties = {keys = clientkeys,
buttons = clientbuttons}}
...
}

The client specific keyboard rules do in fact work so its just the mouse related client rules.

Has anyone had this issue or have any suggestions about how to go about debugging it?

Did you hit the windows key when you were trying to move windows?

I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

Yes I did. Even just clicking on a window should bring focus to it but that doesn't work either.

It turns out it was my mouse all along (R.A.T 7). I was able to fix the issue with the following post:
