This should does the trick on my machine:

  services.xserver.windowManager.awesome.enable = true

|But I can also run awesome wm in xephir without problems.
Maybe you can take a look at the file `icon_theme.lua` at line 95 and see what table entry is nil.||
`lookup_category_icons` seems like there is a problem with finding some icons.
