.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Openbox is a next generation, highly
|
|
configurable window manager. Openbox is compliant with the
|
|
latest window manager standards.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can start Openbox in three ways:
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries
|
|
in the login session type menu for Openbox:
|
|
\fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR and \fBOpenbox\fR. If you want to use Openbox
|
|
within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will
|
|
launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you don't want to run Openbox within a desktop environment, then
|
|
it is recommended that you instead set up a ~/.xsession file and
|
|
use the \fBDefault\fR session type. The ~/.xsession file
|
|
should start any applications you want to run at startup, and then run
|
|
\fBopenbox\fR at the end, such as:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
xsetroot \-solid grey &
|
|
gnome-settings-daemon &
|
|
exec \fBopenbox\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X
|
|
session, you should set up a ~/.xinitrc file, exactly the same as the
|
|
above ~/.xsession file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox
|
|
easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration
|
|
is possible by editing the configuration files by hand. Please note that
|
|
\fBobconf\fR older than version 2.0 may not work at all
|
|
for you.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default configuration files are installed in
|
|
@configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in
|
|
~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration
|
|
to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There are 3 default configuration files, \fBrc.xml\fP,
|
|
\fBrc-gnome.xml\fP, and \fBrc-kde.xml\fP. The
|
|
rc-gnome.xml is used when you run
|
|
\fBopenbox-gnome-session\fR and the rc-kde.xml is used when
|
|
you run \fBopenbox-kde-session\fR. The configuration
|
|
files should be named the same in ~/.config/openbox/.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts:
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10
|
|
Show a summary of the options available.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10
|
|
Show the version of the program.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10
|
|
Replace the currently running window manager.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-reconfigure\fP" 10
|
|
If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to
|
|
reload its configuration.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10
|
|
Do not connect to the session manager.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-sync\fP" 10
|
|
Run in synchronous mode (for debugging).
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fP" 10
|
|
Display debugging output.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-debug-focus\fP" 10
|
|
Display debugging output for focus handling.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10
|
|
Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if
|
|
xinerama is not already enabled. This is for debugging
|
|
xinerama support.
