how to retrieve minimized program in a trayless openbox

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you bring back up a minimized program in Openbox? I have the bare WM without any panels or trays.

by default left click shows all programs on all desktops (minimized or otherwise)

you could also Alt+Tab to it

oooo 20 seconds, take that karol!

It's just a wild wild guess, but 'Alt-Tab' may be worth a try.

I'd say the above posts should cover it, but for completeness I'll say that you might be able to open a program minimized to the tray by simply running it again, but I'm not sure how many apps actually do this. I think it's more of a Windows thing :\

Click middle mousbutton, or else alt+tab. You can also change the keybindings to something else you like in rc.xml
But thats all covered here:  http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Bindings
