[openbox] Openbox Shortcuts

[Milad Pedari]

Exactly. It only happens when using shortcuts like the predefined:

     <!-- Keybindings for running applications -->
     <keybind key="W-e">
       <action name="Execute">
         <startupnotify>
           <enabled>true</enabled>
           <name>PCManFM</name>
         </startupnotify>
         <command>pcmanfm</command>
       </action>
     </keybind>
or:
     <!--keybindings for LXPanel -->
     <keybind key="W-r">
       <action name="Execute">
         <command>lxpanelctl run</command>
       </action>
     </keybind>

I have not changed the original file at all. Winkey+E opens FM in the 
background. Winkey+R opens the Run-Dialog in the background. It is weird 
since these default shortcuts did work in Fedora 15. I upgraded a few 
days ago with a clean install.
