Hi folks,
is anyone of you using awesome wm?
I've been struggling with a little bit of a problem lately, wanted to
create a widget that retrieves gmail data using curl. The problem
encountered is the function io.popen() that returns nil [attempt to index
io nil value] (as having an error in lua) even though not doing anything
special, tested also with ls -l and other trivial bash commands...

Can somebody help me resolve the problem?

I use AwesomeWM, but I haven't messed with the Lua side of things. You
might try in #awesome on Freenode.
