Re: Openbox window manager

Hi,

altering ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml should be sufficient.  I use the setup
you want since many months and never had problems.

Are you sure your rc.xml is being read and doesn't contain errors?  If you
make other changes in your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, do they show an effect
(you can use the "Reconfigure" entry from the root-menu (typically right
mouse key) to check - you need not to restart openbox or X).
