deskmenu does absolutely nothing for me when any mouse button is clicked. I tried explicitly giving the -b<n> option, no difference. Starting with Control-Escape works. Let me know if I can give any more useful information.

Btw, do you run gnome, or some other program, which displays its own root window, and may create problems? Greetings Stefan

All I do with the root window is to set the background wallpaper. But I think I tried to disable that and it didn't make a difference.
Hi Ian, Am 23.11.2007 um 17:24 schrieb Ian Zimmerman: hm, I need to test that, very strange. I must admit, I haven't used Oroborus and Deskmenu for quite some time (currently I either use Mac OS X or Compiz). Greetings, Stefan
tag 452404 + patch thanks I had trouble with the mouse button not working too with either oroborus or fvwm. Nosing around the code I think the main loop may sleep in a select() when there's still X events in the queue. Does that select do anything? It looks worryingly like a cut and paste from desklaunch or keylaunch which re-read their rc file on a signal. Perhaps in deskmenu it's not needed at all (since the rc file is re-read on each popup). I also found for some reason the XSelectInput lost from the proxy window when the popup is run, which made the second and subsequent button press not work. Dunno why, might have to put it under xmon to see exactly where is to blame. It helps for me to reinstate it after each popup per below.
