[rox-users] Pinboard changes Fluxbox root menu behavior

[Steve C. <ste...@is...>]

Hello again,

Not sure if I should have used the devel list or not.

I'm using Rox 1.3.5 (today's CVS) with a pinboard under Fluxbox.  (Or
am I using Fluxbox under Rox? :-)  I have the "Pass all backdrop mouse
clicks to window manager" and "Override window manager control of
pinboard and panels" options enabled.

I see the Fluxbox root menu when I right click on the backdrop.  But
it disappears as soon as I release the mouse button.  It's not a
killer, because things work if you hold the right button down to
navigate the menu and then simultaneously click the left button to
invoke the selected app.  You can also force the menu to stay open by
holding the right button down by pulling down and left until you're
outside the menu on the left side.  Then you can let go and use the
menu solely with the left button.  On the Fluxbox desktop the root
menu stays up after you release the right button, even if you don't
move.

It seems that the button up event handling must somehow work out
differently for Fluxbox when Rox is doing the pass-through.  Of course
it could always be a Fluxbox problem. :)

Any ideas?  I'd like to distribute a Rox/Fluxbox integration tool.
But this is a bit of a fatal flaw.

Thanks,
Steve
