[Fluxbox-users] Problem with Alt+Tab

[Magnus Ågren]

Hi,

I'm running Fluxbox 1.0.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 and have a problem when
switching between applications using Alt+Tab. For example, if I switch
to an xterm window, the first keystroke after the Alt+Tab thing does
nothing. So I always have to first press Alt+Tab and then 'any key'
before the xterm window is ready to accept commands.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Cheers,

Magnus

Eemmm, I often have such problem even in Gnome. However this only happen
to xterm and by that time xterm is the only non-gtk application I use.
Do you suffer from this problem if use gnome-terminal? That can help
scale down the problem.

I have the same problem with any application I have tested, including
gnome-terminal, emacs, konsole, firefox, etc.

Hi,

When I run nautilus, it automagically finds usb devices as they are
plugged in and mounts them under /media. How can I achieve this
behaviour *without* running nautilus? Is there some app I can just run
to pick these devices up so I can access them from command-line, or
from gentoo file browser or similar?

TIA,
Scott Swanson

Just curious: Why did my posting get tagged as [SPAM]??!

I think gnome-mount should help you with this (provided you have gnome
installed). I tried to use this in the past, but the set of parameters
is so cumbersome (nothing to compare to good ol' mount) that I gave up
eventually.

thunar also does that, and it is lightweight and has much less dependencies.

I'd actually suggest using ivman. Has not desktop requirements and just
runs in the background:

Hey, that sounds like just what I need! Thanks. The thunar is
interesting too, just not as nice as gentoo. Are other folks having
troubles with gentoo on newer kernels? Too bad it is getting out of
date....
