from time to time, after working for some time, none of the
mouseclicks on the desktop are recognized any more.
Everything else is still working.
The only way of getting them back is to kill the X-Server via CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE
Is there any other way, i.e. via xterm, to quit fluxbox gracefully or
to get the desktop mouseclicks back?
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Setup is laptop with second monitor, two x-servers, conky on laptop
screen, no changes recently to the configuration.
Hello,
Rather than nuke X, maybe just re-starting fluxbox would suffice. At least
that's a better workaround until you solve the real problem.
Control Mod1 Delete :MacroCmd {Restart} {ExecCommand fbsetbg -l}
Thanks a lot - that is something I was thinking about but did not
follow through.
The shortcut works when I can still use the right-click-on-desktop of
the mouse, but when the problem occurs, none of the keyboard shortcuts
for Fluxbox are working any more.
Rainer, they must be talking about fluxbox own "emacs-style"
keybindings, aka "keychains", as of
http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_shortcuts#Keychains
I had similar problems in the past with this kind of keybindings so i
stopped using it.
Thanks - I haven't thought about those. I looked at the link you
provided. But I have one question: how do I know if these are normal
skeyboard shortcuts (where all keys are pressed at the same time) or
keychains? It looks as if they are the same, i.e. if I press the keys
sequentially or simultaneously, it does not seem to make a difference
("None F11 F12 :ExecCommand xterm" in the .keys file does start xterm
when pressed F11 and F12 in sequence or simultaniously).
So how do you stop using them?
Post by Valter ToffoloPost by Rainer M KrugAny idea how I can figure out what is causing this? Can I restart
fluxbox from a terminal?
killall -HUP fluxbox
Thanks - now I just have to wait till the problem occurs again.

PS: this time it happened after closing emacs.
