Nautilus right-click menu instead of openbox?

***EDIT***
I'd also like to point out that if I right-click the exact second my desktop boots up I can get a openbox menu but afterwards it goes away. Also, I can access the openbox menu if I pkill nautilus.

-----------------------

I searched for this but didn't really see anything helpful; though it is possible I may have overlooked it based off how the OP worded it, sorry if this is the case.

But I have gnome shell installed and I'm trying to switch over to openbox (and potentially even a wm later on down the road just to see how that sort of stuff works) and it loads and all but once I right-click my desktop I get the nautilus right-click menu instead of the openbox one. how can I fix this?

You need to run nautilus with the --no-destkop option. Otherwise it will override your openbox menu because it draws the desktop.

Re: Nautilus right-click menu instead of openbox?

That was happening to me until I commented out a bunch of stuff in my autostart.sh. Here is mine for reference:

# This shell script is run before Openbox launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Openbox session.

# Set a background color
BG="000000"
if which hsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    BG=hsetroot
else
    if which esetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
	BG=esetroot
    else
	if which xsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
	    BG=xsetroot
	fi
    fi
fi
test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#303030"

# D-bus
#if which dbus-launch >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
#       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
#fi

# Make GTK apps look and behave how they were set up in the gnome config tools

#if test -x /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon >/dev/null; then
#  /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
#elif which gnome-settings-daemon >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#  gnome-settings-daemon &
# Make GTK apps look and behave how they were set up in the XFCE config tools
#elif which xfce-mcs-manager >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#  xfce-mcs-manager n &
#fi

# Preload stuff for KDE apps

#if which start_kdeinit >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#  LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup &
#fi

# Run XDG autostart things.  By default don't run anything desktop-specific
# See xdg-autostart --help more info

#DESKTOP_ENV="OPENBOX"
#if which /usr/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#  /usr/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart $DESKTOP_ENV

If you switch back and forth a lot you might want to edit your .desktop files in the ~/.config/autostart directory. Append

OnlyShowIn=GNOME

to them to not have them running in openbox. The above works for me but I am not running openbox inside of gnome (I am running it on another tty).
