Ok my bad. I shouldn't have given my repo. Both awesome and pekwm are
not for newcomers. Especially with the current storm in x11 changes it
is even difficult for the experienced ones to sort out what the heck has
gone wrong. I suggest if you want to stay within the safe guards of 12.1
uninstall everything that came from my repo and go back to the version
came with 12.1

Sorry for the mess
