Hi Terry,

I have been using Fluxbox for more than a year now, and stepped over to rox
about 3 months back. Works great, but there are some issues with Rox and Fluxbox
that mabe you can answer?

With the Rox "--pinboard=PIN", I have great icons, handy too, but when I send a
window to the back (3rd mouse-click on the title bar), it jumps to behind
everything, including the rox background, and is nowhere to be seen till the
background is clicked somewhere and everything that was hidded springs forward.
I hope this explains what I mean, and it's total greek to you ;-) Do you know a
solution to this, I mean more along the lines ofa solution to keep windows
infront of the backdrop?

Second question is this: With the backdrop enabled, I can access my fluxbox
menu's, but nothing works .... at all. I set the "send backdrop mouse clicks to
windowmanager" (or whatever), and can access the menu, but nothing works at all.
Solution is patch you talk about, wbut what is this patch for, rox or fluxbox,
and where could I find it?

3rd queston (and the last), my startup script doesn't work here. Is that maybe
because I'm starting with gdm, or do I have to add a particular line to
.fluxbox/init ?

Many thanks
Ralph
