Problem solved. Now that openbox no longer uses that key, I've discovered that my editor uses it to end its session!

By "a window" do you mean "any window" or just "some windows". It might be that the application itself responds to Alt+F4 (although unlikely).

Re: Openbox window manager
Hi, altering ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml should be sufficient. I use the setup you want since many months and never had problems. Are you sure your rc.xml is being read and doesn't contain errors? If you make other changes in your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, do they show an effect (you can use the "Reconfigure" entry from the root-menu (typically right mouse key) to check - you need not to restart openbox or X). - Michael > I use the openbox window manager on the siduction distribution. > What I want to know is how to stop openbox from killing a window > when Alt-F4 is pressed.

All I did was change the keybindings in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml and Alt-F4 does nothing here. I've pasted my rc.xml here: http://tonybaldwin.me/hax/doku.php?id=misc:obrcxml > I've got an editor which uses the function keys and I am happy with > it. It's openbox which has to be altered. I understand that. One reason I detest emacs (vi vi vi), is that bindings it uses conflict with some that I've added to my rc.xml and use regularly for openbox.
