I need a few things answered or some help please. I am trying to get openbox set-up nicely but have a few problems
1. Can you still have auto-mount feature like in gnome when I put in a cd or a thumbdrive and it mounts and has a icon in my thunar or nautilus file manager. This isn't working for me in openbox. I set this in my autostart.sh:
gnome-mount &
gnome-volume-manager &
I saw that in someone elses and thought that is what it does.
2. I used thayer's settings for xcompmgr and it works great for everything except urxvt. urxvt leaves shadow trails if I move or resize it. Any ideas on that?
3. Is there a tray icon I can use for a battery monitor maybe the one from gnome I just don't know how to call it. I don't really want to use conky.
Thanks for any help.

1. AFAIK Thunar doesn't use gnome-volume-manager, it uses exo-utils. You can start Thunar as a daemon with thunar --daemon and it will automatically pop up new windows when you insert a drive.
2. What are you using to set your wallpaper? I've had a similar experience with urxvt in other distros, it was something to do with feh.
3. gnome-power-manager.

1. I forgot to mention that I did set thunar --daemon in my config but still this doesn't pop up any window.
2. I am using nitrogen --set-scaled
3. If I invoke the gnome-power-manager command nothing shows up in the tray?
Thanks

Also if it matters I just tried feh and it does the same thing.

3. make sure you started dbus. I also had this issue

There is a section in the autostart.sh that I thought started dbus:
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
If that is not the way to start it how do you? I have dbus in my daemons in rc.conf.

pacman -S thunar-volman
Then go into Thunar's preferences and you'll see an option in the last tab for volume management preferences.

I have experienced this sometimes too, but not consistently. It may have something to with urxvt prefs in ~/.Xdefaults, but I can't say for sure.

I just checked and I did have thunar-volman installed and the settings were correct in the preferences but still no volume management? I have something wrong just not sure what?
***EDIT***
Nevermind I am an idiot somewhere along the line I deleted hal from my daemons list in rc.conf when I was testing something and forgot to put it back.
Thayer I get the shadow trail all the time but oh well maybe it can be tracked down someday.
I am sure I will have more questions
Thanks everyone.
