Openbox & tint2 problems with multiple desktops

Hi!

So I have set up my tint2 so that it shows only the current desktop's tasks. So if I'm in my desktop 2 it won't show any of the tasks opened in desktop 1. This is extremely useful when studying. Anyway, that doesn't work.

I mean if I change the desktop all the tasks show up. I figured out that if I change the number of desktops from obconf from two to three and again to two, tint2 starts working as it should be. This is until reboot of course.

Nothing else seems to work. I tried changing the number of desktops from rc.xml and reconfigure openbox and restarting tint2, but no effect.

How do you start tint2?  Do you start it in xinitrc before opebox?  If so, you may need to add a subshell with a sleep to make sure openbox is started before tint2.
