I have tried asking in IRC  and on reddit.com/r/nixos and nobody can tell
me about this issue

awesome says it is version 4.0 but it looks like 3.5.9 and acts like it,
meaning using copycat's rc.lua file used for version 4.0 gives errors. On
my ArchLinux install the rc.lua file works fine and even the inital(without
copycat's themes) look different than it did on 3.5.9

I have tried installing awesome from local clone repo of nixpkgs and same
issue.

Copying error from reddit post I made :

..8n5-awesome-4.0/share/awesome/lib/menubar/icon_theme.lua:95: table
index is nil

error while running function!
