Openbox maximizes windows over Rox pane

Hello all. I'm a new Openbox user and I'm really happy using the
combination ROX-Filer+Openbox!
I want to use Rox panel too but Openbox is maximizing the windows over
it.
I include the discussion in rox-users mailing list about the problem.
Thanks in advance and keep the good work!

Subject: [rox-users] openbox maximizes windows over Rox panel
The subject tells my problem. Openbox maximizes all the windows over the
panel covering half of it. I tried fbpanel and Openbox maximizes the
windows correctly.
That problem is the only reason stopping me of using=20
Rox-Filer+Rox-panel.
Data:
openbox 2.3.1
Rox-Filer (downloaded a few minutes ago from cvs)
Distro: Debian Unstable
Any Help would be appreciated.
Regards.

Marcelo,
It's a ROX feature! ROX panel sets its struts to a few pixels, and
automatically raises the panel if the mouse enter that few pixel area.
The panel is automatically lowered when the mouse pointer leaves the
area.
Cheers,
Olivier.

Actually, openbox maximizes over the panel and the panel does not raise
automatically. The magical raise only happens when the app window
overlaps the panel but is not maximized. Back before rox added support
for it, the panel would be a floating window in openbox, and whenever
you rolled your mouse over it the panel would flicker intensely.
ROX+openbox is still an excellent combination. I either just maximise
by hand (applications remember their previous size and position), or
don't bother too much with the panel(if you've maximised some
applications chances are you're not in dire need of the panel anyway.

Well, I've never tried Openbox, but I was assuming that it was properly
taking struts in account when maximizing windows. I might have been
wrong, in which case Openbox should be fixed.
Cheers,
Olivier.

I'll try to inform the Openbox developers about the problem.

I want to maximize some windows to use the maximum available space while
the panel is fully visible so that I can access the applets and
shortcuts.
How did you configure Openbox to launch applications remembering their
sizes and positions?
As Olivier said it is probably a Openbox problem.
Regards.
