root-menu with left mouse button?

[jih]

I just installed lxde 0.5.5 on Debian wheezy. it came with this kind of Root context menus definition in lxde-rc.xml:

Code: Select all

 <context name="Root">
      <!-- Menus -->
      <mousebind button="Middle" action="Press">
        <action name="ShowMenu">
          <menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu>
        </action>
      </mousebind>
      <mousebind button="Right" action="Press">
        <action name="ShowMenu">
          <menu>root-menu</menu>
        </action>
      </mousebind>
    </context>

i tried to change root-menu activation by left mouse button by editing in above "Right" to "Left", but the result is that nothing happens when i press left mouse button (and now of course also right button).

why is that? in debian squeeze with lxde 0.5.0 the above change works.

I can tell you that it doesn't work in Fedora 17-branched either (openbox-3.5.0-5.fc17.x86_64)

Ok, I'll report it openbox bug.

The problem was solved. There was nothing wrong with openbox. The culprit was process

25240 tty1 S 0:01 pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE

that was eating left mouse button on root before openbox had change to get it. Once I killed pcmanfm, root menu appeared with left mouse button.
pcmanfm --desktop-pref Advanced "Show menus provided by window managers when desktop is clicked" did not help.
