Hi everyone,
At the moment my DE is XFCE. Until last week I was satisfied with it, until I read about openbox. Now I have them both installed, but I ran into something I can't figure out.
Both in XFCE and in openbox I autostart conky and in both I use rightclick to open the menu.
The difference is that in XFCE I can rightclick on conky to bring up the menu, but in openbox I can't. Also if I maximize a window in XFCE it hides conky. If I do the same in openbox, conky hides a part of the maximized window. Is there something that I'm missing here?

But plz understand me right, to my opinion the problem is not in XFCE but in openbox. I always have my windows next to conky and rightclick on conky to bring up the menu. In XFCE this works fine, but in openbox it doesn't.

Did it ever work in openbox?

No, I installed openbox this weekend.
edit:
This is what I mean, I'm in XFCE and rightclick on conky and the menu pops up. If I do the same when in openbox, it looks like the menu is behind conky.

I can right click on conky in openbox and the menu shows. It not only shows, but it's above conky. My conky config is close to vanilla (and boring like me):

Thanks skottish,
Problem solved:
Changing
own window yes
to
own window no
solved the problem.
Now when I right-click on conky my menu pops up and when I move a window over conky, the window covers conky. Just as I want it.
Thanks again.
