Description of problem: With default installation when trying to edit config file (Mod4-W, awesome => edit config) xterm window pops up for a short moment and disappears. It turns out that default awesome config file specifies nano as default text editor. In Fedora the default text editor is vi, nano is not available in default installation and awesome doesn't depend on it. In my opinion awesome should either set default editor to vi (preferably) or require nano. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.4.15-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. using default configuration, try to edit config file (Mod4-W, awesome => edit config) Actual results: editor doesn't show up Expected results: some editor shows up allowing further customizations (like changing the editor itself)
