<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' ><tr><td valign='top' style='font: inherit;'>Actually, after I thought about this for a second the solution is simple. The openbox.desktop file that is in question is actually a part of the kdebase package. It doesn't get used until there is a xinitrc file for openbox available. The openbox slackBuild has the xinitrc's for openbox (session), openbox-KDE, and openbox-GNOME, and the corresponding .desktop files are in <br>/usr/share/xsessions/openbox*. This seemed to work fine in Slackware 12.0, but I don't think KDM in Slackware 12.1 looks there anymore. As a result only the stock openbox.desktop file (under<br>
/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions from the kdebase package) is used.<br><br>The solution is to either move or symlink the created .desktop files under <br>/usr/share/xsessions/<br>so that they are in <br>/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ <br><br>If you don't want the stock .desktop file to be overwritten (this is ideal), you should rename the new openbox.desktop file to openbox-session.desktop and change the "Name" field to something like Openbox-Session. The slackBuild README should then inform the user to use Openbox-Session if they want to use the autostart file.<br><br>Hopefully this clears everything up.<br><br>--phil<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 6/24/08, Chess Griffin <i><chess@chessgriffin.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: Chess Griffin <chess@chessgriffin.com><br>Subject: Re: [Slackbuilds-users] Fwd: bug on openbox package<br>To: "Robby Workman"
