main menu on right click openbox

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

Re: main menu on right click openbox

My English is very bad.

Are you talking about editing the menu openboh? A little here:

Re: main menu on right click openbox

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!

Re: main menu on right click openbox

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.:)
