Using wrapProgram makes so that the generated "awesome" wrapper duplicates its command line options at every restart. As @psychon puts it: > AwesomeWM restarts via execvp(argv[0], argv). In NixOS, wrapProgram is used > to generate a wrapper around the real binary. wrapProgram calls makeWrapper > with --argv0 '$0'. I guess this is what makes awesomeWM run the wrapper again > on restart. Without this --argv0 awesomeWM would directly restart itself > instead of the wrapper, I think.
