Configuring openbox per-application

Post by Palooka »

Hi,

Fedora 15 (x86_64) with LXDE and openbox.

I'm trying to control the behaviour of TzClock and Sylpheed in ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml.

In the <applications> section of the file I have:

<application name="TzClock">
<skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>

and it works beautifully. TzClock is not shown in the taskbar, nor in the window-switcher dialog (Alt-Tab).

However, I also have:

<application name="main_window" class="Sylpheed">
<iconic>yes</iconic>
<skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>

and it seems to be ignored entirely. Sylpheed does not start minimised, and it shows up in the window-switcher, which I do not want it to.

I have checked and double checked the WM_CLASS using xprop. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Palooka
