Under particular circumstances when you define custom application settings in rc.xml with title-matching openbox crashes on java swing apps. Reproducible and a known issue. https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5277 http://icculus.org/pipermail/openbox/2011-March/006989.html https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127905 however the patch in the first link seems to work, but makes sub-windows of those java swing apps fullscreen (e.g. when you open options) I think this should be unstabilized at least.
this issue is also present in 3.5.0_p20111019 I could not test it on the live-ebuild because that one currently fails.
There is no such thing as "unstabilization". A newer version needs to be fixed and stabilized instead
that's why I added the link to the patch, so why do you close the bug instead of fixing the title?
The patch hasn't been accepted upstream (last commit was about 6 months ago). So how am I supposed to fix it? I don't want to add a non-approved patch to portage
can you at least leave this bug open with fixed title in case someone encounters the same issue and is looking for a solution?
Hope it is ok now
The openbox ebuilds call epatch_user so you can add your patch to /etc/portage/patches/x11-wm/openbox for your convenience
this is fixed in x11-wm/openbox-3.5.0_p20121006 that should be a candidate for stabilization, so we can close this bug finally
3.5.0_p20121006 is already stabilized
