Hi all

Since the battery applet is causing the floating point exception for the panels in openbox, I was wondering if there is a way to simply add the main application menu to the right-click menu? I would rather do that than to add another window manager that is slower. I rather like openbox.

Thanx

My English is very bad.
Are you talking about editing the menu openboh? A little here:

Not quite; the link is a good resource, but it assumes that lxpanel is stable, which it isn't on my machine due the battery applet on the laptop(at least, that's what my research suggests). What I would like is a way to access the menu from right-click. If I knew the pathway... perhaps I can make it work..

BTW, your English is fine. Sometimes I have trouble with it and I'm a Tennessean :)

You can use pipe-menu in openbox. You might find something useful here : http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:Pipemenus

Thanx guys! I appreciate the help! That bit about pipemenus was insightful. What I didn't know was that there was already an xdg pipe menu already pre installed. All I had to do was reference it the openbox menu and viola! Thanx!

Upon a second look, the file was one I had downloaded from the Pipemenu link mentioned by arsaber and is not a common feature of Slitaz. Either way, my issue is resolved.:)
