AwesomeWM crashing

Hi,

I was playing with awesome for last couple of days and wanted to set rules for windows but after I added 7th rule it crashed. if I have 6 rules set it will start normaly but when I add 7th rule it won't start.

Here is my rules section

 awful.rules.rules = {
    -- All clients will match this rule.
    { rule = { },
      properties = { border_width = beautiful.border_width,
                     border_color = beautiful.border_normal,
                     focus = true,
                     keys = clientkeys,
                     buttons = clientbuttons } },
    { rule = { class = "vlc" },
      properties = { floating = true } },
    { rule = { class = "pinentry" },
      properties = { floating = true } },
    { rule = { class = "gimp" },
      properties = { floating = true, tag = tags[1][6] } },
    -- Set Firefox to always map on tags number 2 of screen 1.
    { rule = { class = "Firefox" },
      properties = { tag = tags[1][2] } },
      { rule = { class = "Pidgin" }, properties = { tag = tags[1][3] } },              
}

and when I add 7th rule

awful.rules.rules = {
    -- All clients will match this rule.
    { rule = { },
      properties = { border_width = beautiful.border_width,
                     border_color = beautiful.border_normal,
                     focus = true,
                     keys = clientkeys,
                     buttons = clientbuttons } },
    { rule = { class = "vlc" },
      properties = { floating = true } },
    { rule = { class = "pinentry" },
      properties = { floating = true } },
    { rule = { class = "gimp" },
      properties = { floating = true, tag = tags[1][6] } },
    -- Set Firefox to always map on tags number 2 of screen 1.
    { rule = { class = "Firefox" },
      properties = { tag = tags[1][2] } },
      { rule = { class = "Pidgin" }, properties = { tag = tags[1][3] } },           
      { rule = { class = "Liferea" }, properties = { tag = tags[1][3] } },              
} 

it will crash on awesome.reboot and won't start.

when I try to start awesome from cli with startx it will print ot errors similiar to this http://www.mail-archive.com/awesome-dev … 03968.html

Does anyone have a clue what could cause this or had similar problem?

Re: AwesomeWM crashing

I have 12 rules and no crash.... my initial thoughts would be a syntax error (looks fine above though).

Re: AwesomeWM crashing

Yes there shouldn't be any syntax errors.  Funny thing is that when I leave out last entry and rewrite 6th entry to Liferea or anything else it will work, but as soon as I add 7th one it won't.
