I've recently upgraded my machine, and am now at awesome version 4.x. There is now a titlebar of sorts with close, ontop, floating, maximized, etc... buttons on right. Can I get rid of this? What config would I use to have this be universally turned off?

In your rc.lua file, look for

-- Add title bars to normal clients and dialogs
{ rule_any = {type = { "normal", "dialog" }
  }, properties = { titlebars_enabled = true }
},

and change

titlebars_enabled = true

to

titlebars_enabled = false
