Fluxbox - question

[Jakub]

I've installed fluxbox and it's great. However, hmm, I can't seem to figure out how I am supposed to do something like this: say I have 5 windows (applications) on my desktop (I only use one workspace) and they're all maximized. Now, I want to launch something else through the right-click menu. here's how I do it:
1) Minimize all the five applications, one by one, and then I finally get to the desktop and can right-click on it,
2) I right-click on the little space that is left on both sides of the taskbar. But what if my taskbar were 100% wide and not 66%? It wouldn't work...

I guess I'm doing it all wrong ,so if some fluxbox guru could point me to the proper way, I'd appreciate it.

some solutions:

1) tab the windows ( drag & drop a window inside another window with the mouse button2 )

2) key bindings

In Openbox, I can create keyboard shortcuts by changing the ~.config/openbox/rc.xml file. For example, I could create a section like

Here ya go: add the following line to your "~/.fluxbox/keys" file:

If you have the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, there should be a little strip of the naked desktop on either side of the taskbar, even if you have maximized windows. I usually just right-click down there to get the menu.
