Configuring openbox per-application
Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 10:39 pm
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
