Re: Conky dissapears when I press "Minimize all"

Minimize all is implemented with a single window manager command _NET_SHOW_DESKTOP, so there is no opportunity to discriminate between windows. We did what you asked for. You asked to minimize all windows, and we did that. You could dispense with "skip_taskbar" and live with the taskbar bu...

Re: Starting LXDE on Arch Linux

For starters, report the problem to Arch Linux. This should be the first order of business for almost anything: your distro is your primary support channel for how the system fits together. Look in /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm and see what file you have there. Then edit startlxde accordingly. My guess is...

Re: Cannot run multiple instances of lxpanel

Unfortunately not possible in the released version. I have multiple monitors working in an unreleased experimental version.

Sorry, there is no field code that expands to the directory of a file.

Re: Move window frame only

Just the same, the logic to do whatever happens during a window drag is in the window manager. We do not supply, maintain, or influence the development of Openbox. If there is something that needs adjusting, you would need to make the Openbox project aware of it.

Re: How to set up development environment for lxde development?

It depends on what part you want to work on. For the session manager or panel, the way I do it is ssh in from a second machine, kill the real one, and run the one you are debugging directly from the build directory. There is no real need to have a separate user account. For a normal user mode progra...

Re: [ASK] understanding LXDE workflow

It is better to think of LXDE as a few programs on top of the distro, rather than LXDE as a complete thing. Booting is managed by /sbin/init, which at least in the classical SysV model, has "run levels" controlled by /etc/inittab. Runlevel 5 launches the display manager, which then launche...

Re: boot problem

Run a real distribution like Lubuntu or Fedora LXDE Spin or OpenSUSE LXDE. These are up to date and will be serviceable.

Re: LXpanel does not raise after auto-hide

It should just work with the controls I mentioned set to the default on. The panel will only take the space that it needs in the minimized or unminimized state. The Dock setting mostly controls stacking order and the Reserve Space setting mostly controls making sure that maximized windows don't coll...

Re: LXpanel does not raise after auto-hide

If you unchecked "treat as dock", you will certainly get the behavior you are complaining about. Good luck to you if you think that is an option you "don't want." Have a pleasant day. Also, your window manager is Openbox, not LXDE. LXDE provides the panel and session manager and ...
