4. The irritating behavior of windows "iconify" ("minimize") in openbox

Edited on Sat Jul-09-11 10:20 PM by struggle4progress

Newbies will hunt around to discover who to restore "iconified" windows in open box: clicking the minimize button simply causes the window to disappear, although alt-tab (which nominally cycles through windows) causes iconified windows to reappear

The LXDE panel lxpanel is in the ubuntu repositories. Iconified windows appear as icons in the panel

lxpanel can be added to the openbox menu

I tried putting it in the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh -- then my openbox right-click menus didn't work -- but only because I forgot "&" at the end of (sleep 2 && lxpanel) & :rofl:
