I installed awesome on a headless machine. It runs tightvncserver with
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
awesome is automatically started by the vnc server. I attach to it using krdc.
The result is quite disturbing. I have attached the resulting image. I also
tried xtightvncviewer and the results are the same. As far as I can say no
other windowmanager has that problems.
When I start a terminal (like aterm) it is drawn correctly, but not the stuff
from awesome.
Also tried to start it with vncserver :1
