Can't get AWESOME to work anymore!

[sniffysniper]

I used awesome and was liking it

Then i screwed up some config files, so I removed awesome and reinstalled it.

Now when I load up an awesome session it gives an error, how do I resolve this :O?

The error in tty is ending with Connection to the X server has los.


this is in my xorg log

If Awesome has a configuration folder in home hidden folders then removing it and reinstalling will create a new configuration, but you will have to set it up from scratch again. Some window managers have such a folder but not all and it may be inside of the .config folder.
