   8 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
   9 .PP
  10 Openbox is a next generation, highly
  11 configurable window manager. Openbox is compliant with the
  12 latest window manager standards.
  13 .PP
  14 You can start Openbox in three ways:
  15 .PP
  16 If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries
  17 in the login session type menu for Openbox:
  18 \fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR       and \fBOpenbox\fR. If you want to use Openbox
  19 within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will
  20 launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager.
  21 .PP
  22 The third option at log in, which is \fBOpenbox\fR       without a session manager, uses the \fBopenbox-session\fR       command to start Openbox. On log in, \fBopenbox\fR will
  23 run the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh script if it exists, and will run
  24 the system-wide script @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh otherwise. You
  25 may place anything you want to run automatically in those files, for
  26 example:
  27
  28 .PP
  29 .RS
  30 .PP
  31 .nf
  32 xsetroot \-solid grey &
  33 gnome-settings-daemon &
  34 .fi
  35 .RE
  36 .PP
  37 Make sure that each line is followed by a "&" or else the script will
  38 stop there and further commands will not be executed. You can use the
  39 @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh file as an example for creating your
  40 own.
  41 .PP
  42 The default @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh runs a number of things
  43 with Openbox.
  44 .PP
  45 Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X
  46 session, you can set up a ~/.xinitrc file to run
  47 \fBopenbox-session\fR and follow the same directions as
  48 above regarding the autostart.sh file.
  49 .PP
  50 You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox
  51 easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration
  52 is possible by editing the configuration files by hand. Please note that
  53 \fBobconf\fR older than version 2.0 may not work at all
  54 for you.
  55 .PP
  56 The default configuration and menu files are installed in
  57 @configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in
  58 ~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration and menus
  59 to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking.
  60 .SH "OPTIONS"
  61 .PP
  62 These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts:
  63 .IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10
  64 Show a summary of the options available.
  65 .IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10
  66 Show the version of the program.
  67 .IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10
  68 Replace the currently running window manager.
  69 .IP "\fB\-\-reconfigure\fP" 10
  70 If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to
  71 reload its configuration.
  72 .IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10
  73 Do not connect to the session manager.
  74 .IP "\fB\-\-sync\fP" 10
  75 Run in synchronous mode (for debugging).
  76 .IP "\fB\-\-debug\fP" 10
  77 Display debugging output.
  78 .IP "\fB\-\-debug-focus\fP" 10
  79 Display debugging output for focus handling.
  80 .IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10
  81 Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if
  82 xinerama is not already enabled. This is for debugging
  83 xinerama support.
