Openbox is compliant with the +latest window manager standards. +.PP +You can start Openbox in three ways: +.PP +If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries +in the login session type menu for Openbox: +\fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR and \fBOpenbox\fR. If you want to use Openbox +within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will +launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager. +.PP +If you don't want to run Openbox within a desktop environment, then +it is recommended that you instead set up a ~/.xsession file and +use the \fBDefault\fR session type. The ~/.xsession file +should start any applications you want to run at startup, and then run +\fBopenbox\fR at the end, such as: +.PP +.RS +.PP +.nf +xsetroot \-solid grey & +gnome-settings-daemon & +exec \fBopenbox\fR +.fi +.RE +.PP +Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X +session, you should set up a ~/.xinitrc file, exactly the same as the +above ~/.xsession file. +.PP +You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox +easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration +is possible by editing the configuration files by hand. Please note that +\fBobconf\fR older than version 2.0 may not work at all +for you. +.PP +The default configuration files are installed in +/opt/openbox/etc/xdg/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in +~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration +to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking. +.PP +There are 3 default configuration files, \fBrc.xml\fP, +\fBrc-gnome.xml\fP, and \fBrc-kde.xml\fP. The +rc-gnome.xml is used when you run +\fBopenbox-gnome-session\fR and the rc-kde.xml is used when +you run \fBopenbox-kde-session\fR. The configuration +files should be named the same in ~/.config/openbox/. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts: +.IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10 +Show a summary of the options available. +.IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10 +Show the version of the program. +.IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10 +Replace the currently running window manager. +.IP "\fB\-\-reconfigure\fP" 10 +If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to +reload its configuration. +.IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10 +Do not connect to the session manager. +.IP "\fB\-\-sync\fP" 10 +Run in synchronous mode (for debugging). +.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fP" 10 +Display debugging output. +.IP "\fB\-\-debug-focus\fP" 10 +Display debugging output for focus handling. +.IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10 +Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if +xinerama is not already enabled.
