OpenBox menu runs programs wrong

If I run command “remmina” (VNC client) in terminal, everything works fine and I can connect to hosts within seconds with being asked for a password.

If I add it to OpenBox menu and then run it from there, it is messed up:

1 – when connecting to remote host, program freezes for 45 seconds
2 – then it asks for password even though it is stored inside gnonme keyring
3 – then it freezes again for about 15 seconds
4 – and only then it connects
5 – when closing, it also freezes for about 15 seconds

Why is it different?

Re: OpenBox menu runs programs wrong

That's a tricky one... It has me stumped.

Please post your "menu.xml" file for Openbox.

Is it related to this bug? http://sourceforge.net/p/remmina/bugs/89/

Re: OpenBox menu runs programs wrong

I see no reason to think those bugs are related. The symptoms are not really the same, besides they do not exist if I run remmina in any way other than OpenBox menu.

Here's my menu.xml

Re: OpenBox menu runs programs wrong

Have you tried opening a terminal first then running remmina through that?

                    <item label="VNC">
                        <action name="Execute">
                                <execute>terminator -e remmina</execute>
                        </action>
                    </item>

Or run openbox from a terminal.
