<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br />Yes, that is what I have always done in the past. Recently, the Linux <br />distribution that I use started using' jgmenu' to generate menus. Until <br />I received your response, I thought 'jgmenu' is part of openbox, but I <br />now think that is incorrect. I have to step back and figure out what the <br />current jgmenu flow is.<br /><br />Apparently, jgmenu generates the menus on the system and feeds that to <br />openbox somehow. I have been trying to change menu.xml and I believe <br />that is not valid now.<br /><br />On 12/12/22 09:44, General wrote:<br />> On Mon, 12 Dec 2022 08:46:31 -0500<br />> Jim Anderson <jjanders@ptd.net> wrote:<br />><br />>> Hi,<br />>><br />>> I'm have been using openbox for years.
