First contact and a few questions

[Johan Vromans]

Hello,

Recently I discovered OpenBox and it seems I finally have found a
window manager that is capable of replacing my almost 20 year old
current window manager, Ctwm.

I have a quite sophisticated setup for Ctwm, and I am now in the
process of implementing most of it in OpenBox. Not surprisingly, this
will result in some questions that I would like to ask, and I hope
they will not sound too stupid for experienced OpenBoxers.

This is the first question: In Ctwm it is possible to mark one of the
items of a submenu as the default choice. This means that if I
position the mouse on the entry of the menu, the submenu is displayed.
If I then click on the entry of the menu (without going to the
submenu!), the default choice from the submenu is executed.

Is this possible with OpenBox?

Second question: I have set the policy to FocusFollowsMouse, with
RaiseOnFocus. If I pop-up a menu and selects an item that has <prompt>
set, a dialog pops up. However, if the mouse is currently in a window,
this window will raise and obscure the dialog.

Shouldn't the dialog be modal, always focus and on top?

Thanks for your patience. And, most important, thanks for the nice
tool!
