just trying out openbox (the screenshot section convinced me ) and i like it so far.
i try to keep it fast and simple, otherwise i'd install guake or something similar.
is there any way to popup urxvt by pressing a button? i don't want to start a new instance of it, just bring it to the foreground and maybe hide it again.

I use tilda ... I liked yakuake a lot more, but want to use as many GTK-apps as possible. Try it out, maybe you like it. An alternative is always welcome, because I really don't like tilda very much.

urxvt -pe kuake
Then press F10.

the -pe kuake is nice... tried that in gnome some time ago and it didnt work...
now i just have to rebind the key
thanks!
edit: mhhm... starting it in autostart.sh works, starting via menu doesnt, x-keybinding error... well i wanted to autostart it anyway
and after editing the key in /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/kuake i'm totally happy ;D

uhm, almost... it grabs all modifiers as well... so guess i have to put it to f1 instead of grave, i somehow need it on the left side ^^
tilda is not really an option, and its openbox - not fluxbox

I modified wmctrl to display the title of the active window.
I use this to show and hide mrxvt with this bash code:
#! /bin/bash
#title of the window you want to show/hide
TITLE="mrxvt"
#application name
APP=mrxvt
#List all applications
if [ "`wmctrl -l | grep -c "$TITLE"`" = "0" ]
then
#start the application if it is not already running
$APP &
else
#if the application is running, determine if we should show or hide the window
# -z is the option to print the active window title
if [ "`wmctrl -z | grep -c "$TITLE"`" = "0" ]
then
# show the window
wmctrl -R "$TITLE"
else
# hide the window
wmctrl -r "$TITLE" -b add,hidden
fi
fi
You can bind this code to a shortcut by editing the openbox configuration file.
I use it for other applications, too. E.g. firefox with title Gran Paradiso.
If you are interested I can give you the modified wmctrl sources.

How exactly did you get it to work? When I run (even after changing the the /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/kuake to F1) it I get the error:
tony@arch_linux ~ $ urxvt -pe kuake
urxvt: An X Error occured, trying to continue after report.
urxvt: X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
urxvt: Major opcode of failed request: 33
urxvt: (which is X_GrabKey)
urxvt: Serial number of failed request: 147
I'm currently using tilda for now, too, and while I like it, there are a few things that are less than ideal.

frip
thansk a lot! using -a instead of -R because i got urxvt on all desktops but works like a charm
tonyisnt
guess your wm has some key mapped to f1 as well,
in gnome this would probably be caused by gnome-terminal.

tried yeahconsole but somehow it freezes after some time.
