Openbox is compliant with the latest window manager standards. .PP You can start Openbox in three ways: .PP If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries in the login session type menu for Openbox: \fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR and \fBOpenbox\fR. If you want to use Openbox within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager. .PP If you don't want to run Openbox withing a desktop environment, then it is recommended that you instead set up a ~/.xsession file and use the \fBDefault\fR session type. The ~/.xsession file should any applications you want to run at startup, and then run \fBopenbox\fR at the end, such as: .PP .RS .PP .nf xsetroot \-solid grey & gnome-settings-daemon & exec \fBopenbox\fR .fi .RE .PP Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X session, you should set up a ~/.xinitrc file, exactly the same as the above ~/.xsession file. .PP You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration is possible by editing the configuration files by hand. The default configuration files are installed in @configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in ~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking. .PP There are 3 default configuration files, \fBrc.xml\fP, \fBrc-gnome.xml\fP, and \fBrc-kde.xml\fP. The rc-gnome.xml is used when you run \fBopenbox-gnome-session\fR and the rc-kde.xml is used when you run \fBopenbox-kde-session\fR. The configuration files should be named the same in ~/.config/openbox/. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts: .IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10 Show a summary of the options available. .IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10 Show the version of the program. .IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10 Replace the currently running window manager. .IP "\fB\-\-reconfigure\fP" 10 If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to reload it's configuration. .IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10 Do not connect to the session manager. .IP "\fB\-\-sync\fP" 10 Run in synchronous mode (for debugging). .IP "\fB\-\-debug\fP" 10 Display debugging output. .IP "\fB\-\-debug-focus\fP" 10 Display debugging output for focus handling. .IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10 Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if xinerama is not already enabled. This is for debugging xinerama support. .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP obconf (1), openbox-gnome-session (1), openbox-kde-session (1). .PP The program's full documentation is available on the website: \fBhttp://openbox.org/\fP .PP Please report bugs to: \fBhttp://bugzilla.icculus.org/ \fP .\" created by instant / docbook-to-man, Sun 13 May 2007, 20:29 |
