[openbox] client-list-menu

[Brandon Cash]

Hello, hello, hello.

It sounds to me like you just want an item to be highlighted initially 
when the menu is created--this shouldn't be specific to client-list-menu.

You should probably check out bug 2228 in bugzilla: 
http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2228
The title is, aptly, "No entry initially highlighted upon opening a 
menu."  There is a bit of a discussion about it and possible future 
solutions.  There is no patch at the moment.

I doubt anything is being done about this bug at the moment, but patches 
would obviously be welcome.

Some of the code for openbox is a bit hard to wade through, but I'm sure 
this bug will get fixed some time or another.  For now, just use the 
down key followed by enter.
