Hello,
After a long quest and trying out several window managers (since 94:
fvwm2, icewm, gnome, kde, xfce, etc.) I finally found openbox3 reading
about it in a slashdot.org comment (at last recouping all the wasted
time ;-).
It seems my quest has now ended as openbox3 fully corresponds to my
philosophy and needs: minimalist yet functional, beautiful and
efficient. Congratulations to the team for making such a tool. My
frustration of seeing wmbiff treated as an ordinary window has also
ended, while discovering a wonderful array of dockable applets.
Here a few questions I have gathered in a month or so of daily use:
- xmms cannot be parked under the dock: for instance if the dock is
upper-left vertical, the one cannot align xmms right under it, along
the left window edge,
- the dock stays visible when mplayer is full screen, even if "above or
below other windows" is selected,
- is there a setting (I searched the docs) that would open windows along
the upper right side of the screen?
Thanks,
