I have a kind of clock application that just floats on the desktop<br></div><div>area. It tells the time and also does some clipboard manipulation in <br></div><div>the background. Since it's just supposed to float ghostly, it shouldn't <br></div><div>be included in the pager or taskbar.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The funny thing is I made that application and it already dodged the <br></div><div>pager and taskbar by itself, although it did come up in the pager<br></div><div>sometimes. The new setting on Openbox may have fixed that. Either way,<br></div><div>I had forgotten that could be done from my own application.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>2. Then I used to have all my clipboard items displayed on the screen<br></div><div>with osdsh (on screen display) for half a second just to make sure I <br></div><div>have copied the right thing because I don't have a lot of trust in the <br></div><div>Linux clipboard. But osdsh is kind of broken because it can't display <br></div><div>accented characters such as é, ê, à, õ etc. If the clipboard content <br></div><div>began with one such character, the entire content would be invisible.<br></div><div><br></div><div>So I decided to replace osdsh with a quick and dirty mini window I <br></div><div>made in Tk. That introduced a new problem. Whenever I copied something<br></div><div>to the clipboard and quickly moved to Alt+Tab to another window to <br></div><div>paste the content, the clipboard mini window would get in the way and<br></div><div>make me Alt+Tab to it by mistake. But now with the new setting on <br></div><div>Openbox, it works perfectly.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><span></span></div></body></html>
