LXDE, Openbox (Cauldron): some quirks & workarounds

Postby winstonteacox » Sep 23rd, '11, 18:38

At the moment there are some minor - more or less annoying - problems with LXDE ...

1. Main menue doesn't show, when the panel is on the upper side of the screen.
Workaround:
Put panel to the downside of the screen or to the left or right side.

2. Obconf does'nt start, "cant find rc.xml" error
Workaround:
Start Obconf via console with
Code: Select all
cd ~/.config/openbox/ && obconf --config-file lxde-rc.xml


3. The desktop settings in PCManFM are gone.
Workaround:
Start desktop setttings with:
Code: Select all
pcmanfm --desktop-pref


:mrgreen:
cheers,
Bernd
Now after my words of profound wisdom, I'm going back to procrastinating.

Really kind of you to post this also in english :)
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
