[newbie] 8.2 Blackbox logout problem
I don't know if I should submit this as a bug report or not, but has anyone else noticed that on the menu on blackbox (where you right click to get a floating menu), it no longer has the Exit (logout) option at the bottom? Now to get out of it, I have to Cntl-Alt-Backspace. Is there a better way of doing this? -- peace, Rog registered linux user #190719 ICQ #56469198 http://www.toddstheory.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie-it] BlackBox
Ciao a tutti! Sto provando un po' tutti gli ambienti a dicposizione del Pinguino; non posso dire di essere esattamente sorpreso nel constatare come Gnome e Kde non siano poi così indispensabili, dopotutto... anche se le applicazioni per essi realizzate continuano a esserlo! :) E' qualche giorno che, specie per navigare in rete, mi servo di BlackBox, e qui, appena imparato a gestirlo adeguatamente (leggi: a prenderci la mano, e a usare in maniera proficua dei desktop virtuali), sono riamsto effettivamente sorpreso nel rendermi conto di come tale ambiente sia quasi perfetto per le mie esigenze, pur essendo incredibilmente leggero... finora, a parte il fatto che manca un'applicazione per lanciare un programma non inserito nei menù, l'unico vero inconveniente è dato dalla visualizzazione dei font di non poche pagine web, quale che sia il browser che utilizzo: i caratteri appaiono se non proprio illeggibili, certo molto sgradevoli da vedere; qualcuno sa se tale problema sia risolvibile? Grazie. Corrado
[newbie] Installing blackbox
I'm sure there are loads on sources online to tell me how to do this, but i can't find a one that works for me, for whatever reason. I'm running Mandrake 7.2 with kernel 2.2.18 on a compaq LTE 5380 laptop. I've got a pent133 with 80 meg of ram and a 2 gig hdd. My problem is that KDE 2 that comes with mandrake 7.2 is so huge my ram is almost all gone as soon as KDE loads up. So i want to try blackbox. I've got it downloaded and extracted and all that fun stuff, and i've done all the .configure things i could find to do. but how do i set up X to load Blackbox instead of KDE? i can't get it to load for the life of me. If anyone has a link or howto or anything, i would appreciate it. thanx _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Do you just mean to move the windows up and down? because i do it by hitting alt+L i think it is or ctrl+L and then moving the window, then i maximize it. Hi Andy, The problem I had, and still am working on, is this: I see the bottom of a konsole window 'behind' my pine window. I want to pull that konsole to the front, to have that 'over' the pine window. So far I have found that in .blackboxrc I can set the focus mode to 'AutoRaiseSloppyFocus'. With that, I move the mouse over a window and it is raised (pops to the front) automatically. I like that better than the default "SloppyFocus", but I would like to know if there is something like "RaiseOnClick". That is how I have KDE set up, and that way works best for me. SloppyFocus only points the view to the window that the mouse is over, but does not raise it until you click the title-bar, and that is not always in sight. I hope this brings things across more clear...
