Hi there.
I've lost the normal right-click menu you got on the desktop. Just because I checked a box I naively thought I could easily uncheck later.
Of course, there's not such checkbox in the openbox manager. So, I'm screwed.
Because now, every customer who will use the PC will right-click at one point, and click on the Exit option, screw the whole desktop, forcing a reboot and loosing whatever they were typing or reading. And of course, it sucks.
Long story short: How to get back the normal right-click menu when I right-click on the desktop ?
Thank you.
PS : I have no Desktop Settings or whatsoever in my LX panel. Only OB config manager.

Out of idle curiosity do you have the normal right click settings when you reboot and you are asking if you can get them back without rebooting?

Sadly, no. The OB right click menu is still here no matter how many time I reboot.
The sole presence of this menu baffles me, since the default menu is far more efficient and practical. Why giving the user an easy-to-reach option to change it to something nearly useless.. and of course hard to reverse?
EDIT:
And now with pictures!
It's one of the silly issues that get back often (with the numlock one).

Try this from Ubuntu Forms.

Apparently, I'm not the only one struggling with this right now...
I put the answer here for those who won't think about looking in the Ubuntu general forum.
Type "pcmanfm --desktop-pref" in the execute window.
It's the command to popup the desktop settings window.
On a sidenote, it would be nice to add this command in the application menu. It will save lifes you know...
