patch for openbox to work

[John F Davis]

Hello

I was trying to get openbox to run in X.  I read some posts and managed to
get it working.  One change needed to be made to /usr/X11R6/bin/bsetbg
similar to the bzdiff patch in 2004.

Here is the patch for that file.

+TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/bsetbg` || `tempfile --prefix=bsetbg`
 ARGUMENT=$1


Also, per the other emails, this is how I am starting openbox from my
cygwin shell.


#!/bin/sh
# mystartx
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin.exe :0 -rootless
/usr/bin/xterm -bg black -fg green -sb -rightbar -display :0 
/usr/bin/xterm -bg black -fg green -sb -rightbar -display :0 
/usr/X11R6/bin/openbox -display :0


Lastly, nothing would have happen without the help of Soren Andersen
(somian) on #cygwin on irc.openprojects.org

openbox works, but how do I get the middle mouse button to display a menu?

[John F Davis]

Hello

I have openbox working, but when I click my middle mouse button on my
windows desktop it opens windows desktop dialog.

On a related issue, if I use openbox and icon a window, I can not access
the windows anymore.  Openbox on linux accesses the icon'd windows via the
middle mouse button clicked on the desktop.

Please advise.

JD
