X and Fluxbox :: Fluxbox 0.9.10 NEW

Errata: (i made a mistake)

the file that fluxbox uses to save the keybindings to IS: ~/fluxbox/keys (and NOT ~/.fluxbox-0.9.10/keys like i earlier said) And the init that is used IS ~/.fluxbox-0.9.10/init

silly me

sorry..

I didn't want this extension to affect the fluxbox stable installation at all, particularly the init file since there are new/different settings in it. The menu is an exception, since the myDSL entries wouldn't show up in a ~/.fluxbox-0.9.10/menu file.

So is the layer thing working? Most of the suggestions I've given have been confirmed on my workstation only, and not in DSL, so there's a possibility of some bugs. It's unlikely, though, since the only things left out of the extension have to do with font rendering and something about root window manipulation.

yep, the layer thing worked! Thnx

0.9.11 still has the same same sticky menu behavior you mentioned.

I just thought I'd mention another option to close the menu. You said you have the menu set to a hotkey, so you should be able to hit that key to refresh the menu and give it focus, and then press Esc to close it.

I've just written a mail to one of the developers of fluxbox to do something about the fact that the fluxbox-menu is a ABOVE DOCK-layer application and that i need to get it:

to desktop-layer

OR

to auto-sense/auto-hide whenever it is not needed...

(i hope for a response)

PS: the fastest way to kill the RootMenu right now is to right-click on it... Unfortunetly RootMenu isn't a command that you can kill with: killall -9 RootMenu
