PCManFM + keybinds in openbox?

Hi,

Currently, I'm slimming down my Archlinux-laptop and have chosen openbox, pcmanfm, tint and conky. But if I let PCManFM manage my background, my openbox-keybinds don't work...

Secondly: anyone have a suggestion what to use as a launch-panel? AWN was really good, but since my laptop doesn't do compositing, it would have to be something small (not too CPU-intensive).

Zl.

On my laptop pcmanfm(0.4.4.0) doesn't block anything of openbox's functionalitys.

But maybe i can help with your second problem. You could try wbar, it is very small and simple but still looks quite cool. You can find it (and a gui-config-tool) in the aur.

Do you need pcmanfm to control the background because you use desktop icons ? If not, you can set the wallpaper with nitrogen.

I would unchoose pcmanfm and choose thunar or rox for the great volume management in thunar or scripting ability in both that pcmanfm doesnt have.
if you need it for desktop icon thingys then don't know what to say but openbox shouldnt have any problems with a filemanager.
