openbox study

To get used to another window manager that is desktop-metaphor-based, I decided to have a further dig on Openbox that is able to stand in parallel with i3wm. here are the updates.

(1) tint2 is found to work very well with openbox. tint2 provides a taskbar at the bottom of the screen, which makes the desktop very much like windows.
(2) the following script works perfectly as keyboard short cut.
should be stored at .config/openbox/rc.xml (see ubuntu in toshiba)
The time I spent to configure it is that the W-left should be stored at the end of the keybinding list.

(3) Current problem: one of the reasons I want to use this method is that I can work at home in a windows-based machine, using tightvnc based command. however, windows is heavily relying on the windows key, which makes the keybindings at the tightvnc useless. TO 13-06-08
