Title: Fluxbox_1.0.0
Post by: scheck.r on October 15, 2007, 03:22:56 pm

I tried the new fluxbox_1.0.0 package from Capnfish. (compiled for pdaxrom latest 2.6 kernel)
Right click doesn't work on the desktop(pressing Fn + tap).
Alt + tap on a window doesn't drag the window either.
If I substitute the fluxbox_1.0.0 binary file(just the binary file) with the fluxbox_1.0rc2 binary from Dtruchan(compiled for ???),
right click shows the root menu on the desktop but alt + tap on a window doesn't drag the window.
If I substitute the fluxbox_1.0.0 binary file with the fluxbox_0.9.12 binary from Meanie(compiled for beta3),
right click shows the root menu on the desktop AND alt + tap on a window drags the window
I repeat, I just exchanged the fluxbox binary file and didn't touch to any of the config files.

So it seems none of the configuration files can affect the right click and Alt drag behaviour ?
Is fluxbox_1.0.0 just not compiled for the right kernel ?

Of course everything works under openbox

I experienced that quirk under rc2 and/or rc3 of Fluxbox. I don't know why it happens. You could just switch to EvilWM like I did and get around the problem

EDIT: Sorry to not be of more help.

I fixed the Alt drag problem in  fluxbox_1.0.0
Edit ~/.fluxbox/init and change line 79

I was messing with fluxkeys from fluxconf 0.9.9 but it segfaults quite often and erases my key file.
So, if you still want to use fluxconf because it's convenient, easy, a GUI, don't forget to backup your ~/.fluxbox directory
Also, if you want to update your menu because you installed a new package, you may have heard about fb_generate_menu but I wouldn't recommend it. The menu generated is then not very pda friendly(lots of submenus). So I would say, to be safe, edit all your fluxbox config files manually, it's almost as fast and you won't have surprises.

You are warned
