hi!
What is matchbox keyboard? Do you have this with other applications as well?
matchbox-keyboard is an app that displays a keyboard and produces the
respective 'keystroke' for other applications when you click on a key.
think of a phone/pda with a touchscreen display but no keyboard =>
matchbox-keyboard can be used with a stylus for keyboard input.
i tried the same with xclock (changing the application name in the rc.xml from "" to
"xclock") with the following result:
- the maximized (x and y) window still uses the whole screen except for the
panel, especially it's still partly covered by xclock. that's different in that
it does not use just the lower half of the screen.
- there's still the gap at the bottom.
If the application is messed-up (in this case matchbox keyboard) openbox can
hardly do anything against that.
i tried matchbox-keyboard with a few wms. this behaviour at least occured only
with openbox.
what makes it especially strange for me is that the existence of one window
(matchbox-keyboard) makes the other (xy maximized) window use just the lower
half of the screen. i don't want to claim that this can not actually be caused
by some error in matchbox-keyboard, it just seems very counterintuitive to me
(plus this happens only with openbox).
i also don't want to claim that the problem can't be a lack of understanding of
the configuration by me. but then the correct configuration (or the error in
the config) is at least not obvious (to me, or to an average user so to speak :)
maybe it helps to explain what i'm trying to achieve:
- a panel at the top of the screen.
- the matchbox-keyboard app is started and stopped as needed. if it is running,
it should be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
- any other windows are to use the space between the panel and the
matchbox-keyboard (if it is running) or the whole space except for the panel
(if matchbox-keyboard is not running).
regards,
Chris
