Openbox is compliant with the +latest window manager standards. +.PP +You can start Openbox in three ways: +.PP +If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries +in the login session type menu for Openbox: +\fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR and \fBOpenbox\fR. If you want to use Openbox +within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will +launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager. +.PP +The third option at log in, which is \fBOpenbox\fR without a session manager, uses the \fBopenbox-session\fR command to start Openbox. On log in, \fBopenbox\fR will +run the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh script if it exists, and will run +the system-wide script @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh otherwise. You +may place anything you want to run automatically in those files, for +example: + +.PP +.RS +.PP +.nf +xsetroot \-solid grey & +gnome-settings-daemon & +.fi +.RE +.PP +Make sure that each line is followed by a "&" or else the script will +stop there and further commands will not be executed. You can use the +@configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh file as an example for creating your +own. +.PP +The default @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh runs a number of things +with Openbox. +.PP +Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X +session, you can set up a ~/.xinitrc file to run +\fBopenbox-session\fR and follow the same directions as +above regarding the autostart.sh file. +.PP +You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox +easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration +is possible by editing the configuration files by hand. Please note that +\fBobconf\fR older than version 2.0 may not work at all +for you. +.PP +The default configuration and menu files are installed in +@configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in +~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration and menus +to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts: +.IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10 +Show a summary of the options available. +.IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10 +Show the version of the program. +.IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10 +Replace the currently running window manager. +.IP "\fB\-\-reconfigure\fP" 10 +If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to +reload its configuration. +.IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10 +Do not connect to the session manager. +.IP "\fB\-\-sync\fP" 10 +Run in synchronous mode (for debugging). +.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fP" 10 +Display debugging output. +.IP "\fB\-\-debug-focus\fP" 10 +Display debugging output for focus handling. +.IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10 +Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if +xinerama is not already enabled.
