My first guess is that something else is using XGrabKey() to bind Alt-Tab as a global hotkey and, thus, preventing Openbox from ever receiving the event.
I've never bothered to look into how to track that down, but the least fancy way would probably be to alternately Alt-Tab and then kill something until you either get it working (thus identifying the culprit) or run out of applications you can get away with killing (thus proving that it's either not XGrabKey() or it's being used in a weird way by the session manager, openbox, etc.) On 13-09-02 11:55 AM, Wolfgang Stief wrote: > Hi there! > > I switched to LXDE coming from GNOME2 and started using LXDE with > Lubuntu 12.04. > > Currently I'm running Lubuntu 12.04.2 (32bit) on both of my laptops > (one being a Netbook for travel and conferences).
