Re: Fluxbox questions

I do not wish to hijack this thread, but I have a similar question:

I started using openbox a few days ago and since then I use pm-suspend
on terminal to suspend my debian machine. The thing is pm-suspend
requires root permission and obmenu runs with standard permissions.

Is there a way out? Any group I should add my standard user?


root@tagesuhu-pc:/home/andre# which pm-suspend
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
root@tagesuhu-pc:/home/andre# ls -la /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jan 16  2012 /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
-> ../lib/pm-utils/bin/pm-action
root@tagesuhu-pc:/home/andre# exit
exit
andre@tagesuhu-pc:$ /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
This utility may only be run by the root user.
andre@tagesuhu-pc:$ ls -la /usr/lib/pm-utils/bin/pm-action 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2903 Jan 16  2012 /usr/lib/pm-utils/bin/pm-action

I've been using 'fluxbox' for about a month now and really like it, but I do have some questions that I haven't been able to find answers for.

A - In the menu, how can I get working lines for logging off, I currently use '[exec] (Log off) {exit}' but aren't satisfied with it, and also for restarting fluxbox, currently '[restart] (Restart) {restart}' ?

B - Periodically, when logging back into fluxbox from another DE I get this error message showing in the logs 'BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server.
another window manager already running on display:0
Error: Couldn't find screens to manage.
Make sure you don't have another window manager running.'
I'm not aware of another window manager still running, but how do I kill it if it is please?

Hopefully thanks
Sharon.
