Created attachment 676013 [details] it's the openbox config file which I link as "lxde-rc,xml" (don't tell me it's because of its nature, because I've tried all the possible solutions without coding, even using lxde-rc.xml as a file) Description of problem: LXDE desktop is breaking NextWindow+allDesktops behaviour in openbox windowmanager when it's properly set on ~/.config/lxde-rc.xml. The windows are mapped, but do not raise along the multiple desktops, as they should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 How reproducible: INstall Fedora 17 LXDE Spin or LXDE desktop and load it in X. Next modify ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml to make alt-tab (NextWindow) work in all desktops, inserting <allDesktops>yes</allDesktops> option in the proper place. Do an "alt-tab" some times, with windows opened in all desktops. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit the ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml looking for "NextWindow" keybinding, usually mapped as "alt-tab" key. inserting the option <allDesktops>yes</allDesktops> below </finalactions> 2. After that openbox --reconfigure in a term and try to cycle windows through desktops 3. Sometimes the thing works as expected but repeat that several times. Something messes up the thing an windows begin not to raise when they selected in the menu, and The WM does not give focus to them. Actual results: Even with a fresh install of F17 LXDE Spin it can be reproduced, which I wouldnt like to see in F18. Expected results: That LXDE allow openbox WM act the way it was designed to be: Cycling windows through different desktops when the option <allDesktops>yes</allDesktops> is set, as it could be done with other LXDE distros, like Lubuntu 12.10 (I've checked that). Additional info: Go to the login manager and with the same comfig choose only openbox session (not lxde one). The WM acts exactly how we expected before, therefore there's something in the LXDE messing up the WM.

What do you mean with "which I link as lxde-rc.xml"? Is the typo in the file name intended? What is the name of the config file relative from your homedir? Can you please give me a "ls -l" for it? > Steps to Reproduce: > 1.

I'm sorry, I cannot follow you. You said you are using the keyboard to cycle windows, so what do you mean with "when they selected in the menu"? > Actual results: Even with a fresh install of F17 LXDE Spin it can be > reproduced, which I wouldnt like to see in F18. Then you should have filed this bug earlier, F18 was already declared gold, I cannot change anything before release. > Expected results: That LXDE allow openbox WM act the way it was designed to > be: Cycling windows through different desktops when the option > <allDesktops>yes</allDesktops> is set, as it could be done with other LXDE > distros, like Lubuntu 12.10 (I've checked that). Please explain the problem without referring to other distributions. As long as you don't state the versions of the problems in question and didn't compare the config files, referring to another distribution is meaningless. What versions of lxde-common, pcmanfm and openbox are causing the problem for you?
Ping, please get back to me.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
