yep.  It at least works when following the way documented on the
awesome Wiki, which involves creating a wrapper so that awesome is
started in the background.  Didn't try it without it.

That said you still get gnome-panel.  The awesome wiki tells me not to
use gnome-session at all but to start all parts that it will invoke by
myself instead, if I don't want gnome-panel.  (With GNOME 2 one was
able to deactivate this component.)

Kind regards
