Openbox-svn crashes and shadows question

Hi,

I installed openbox-svn visibility-svn obconf2-svn from smoons repo, and everything seemed to work fine at first...

Then I messed with the themes and now everytime I try to acces the RMB menu openbox crashes and goes back to slim?

I've tried to to remove all above programs and their config files then re-install but the crash remains.

Any help?

Also seems that some ppl (ht) have window shadows in openbox so how to enable these?

Ps, might help to try if some1 could post fully working openbox-svn: themerc.xml, rc.xml, menu.xml or any other needed file.

Re: Openbox-svn crashes and shadows question

odd same here .... works fine here ... off the top of my head maybe you have a problem with menu.xml [or rc.xml] back em up ... then reload stock ones from /etc/xdg/openbox ... see if menu works HTH

Re: Openbox-svn crashes and shadows question

Yes i'm pretty sure i broke it myself (did uninstalling with jacman with pacman3, messed with themes, used obconf2 and mmaker, installed stuff from testing... gnome-managers and whatnot), just wondering what steps to take to ensure that i have the original openbox and files restored?

btw do you use obconf2 and mmaker in openbox-svn too?

its almost like i had rmb bind to ctrl-alt-backspace... weird.
