....windows_key + space should bring up the main menu.

....just me or does anyone else get a "wots up" moment  (when messing on another distro) when left hand, first and second finger taps, produce zero response?

I could be wrong but i would be surprised if it were a menu.xml issue (or else it wouldn't work at all)

have you set up pcmanfm, or some other program to manage your desktop?

failing that have you modified ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml ?

i think this is the part that brings up the main menu (it towards the bottom)

    <context name="Root">
      <!-- Menus -->
      <mousebind button="Middle" action="Press">
        <action name="ShowMenu">
          <menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu>
        </action>
      </mousebind>
      <mousebind button="Right" action="Press">
        <action name="ShowMenu">
          <menu>root-menu</menu>
        </action>
      </mousebind>
    </context>

middle click (or left and right together) should ring up the menu you described, right click brings up the main menu.

if all else fails windows_key + space should bring up the main menu, as should right clicking at the very top of the screen (openbox leaves a one pixel high row at the top of the screen free so you can access the menu when you have maximised windows etc).

can you please post (wrapped in code tags preferably) the menu.xml file content?

alt+f2

gedit /home/YOUR USERNAME/.config/openbox/menu.xml

Hey guys, I just put crunchbang on my old ibm thinkpad and it works great, except for my openbox main menu... it only works when i right click on conky. If i click anywhere else I get the "desktop switcher" menu... with the "add new desktop" and "remove last desktop" options... I'd like the root menu to pop up when i right click anywhere, how do i fix this?

Oh also I'd like the root menu to show when i right click on tint2, and supposedly this is done by adding wm_menu=1 to the config... but I can't get it to work (with the root menu or desktop switcher menu... no response)

any help i'd really appreciate, thanks #! guys.
