[openbox] OT perhaps: how to trigger program when mouse is at the edge of the screen

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I am not sure that this is a question for Openbox but I thought I would ask to make sure that that is indeed so (and also to see if anyone had further ideas).

So, here is what i want to do. I have wbar running (outside the dock) at the bottom-middle of the screen (I had originally planned to have it on the left-middle but decided to move it down). 

Anyway, I would like to get wbar triggered and show up only when the mouse is moved to the end of the bottom screen (and go away after soem action on wbar is triggered)? How does one do this in openbox or is this not an openbox issue? If the latter, then any suggestions as to where I should look? If this involves programming into wbar, I can try, but it would still help to see an example in C/C++/Fortran (ha, had to throw that in).

Many thanks again for any suggestions you an give!

Best wishes,
Ranjan
