+ dialog (and other things). (Fixes Pidgin icon)

+ space inside the struts, and hiding behind them).
+ * Don't let child (transient) windows steal focus when the situation is
+ ambiguous
+ * Fix bevels and borders display in the titlebar
+ * Set the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW hint properly, when nothing is focused (This
+ is the proper fix for libwnck pagers.)
+ * Fallback focus immediately during iconify animation in all cases (was
+ missing RevertToParent case)
+ * Fix new frame elements being given 0 sizes for very small windows

+ predictable.
+ * Show the hostname for remotely run programs in iconified titles
+ * Stop focus flicker when sending windows to a desktop and following them,

+ 0 in _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages (Rox pinboard)
+ * Fixes for default rc.xml configuration file. Updated comments and comment
+ out the applications section in an xml compatible way.
+ * Update for Portuguese translation
+ * Fix support for window gravity (eg xterm -geometry -0+0)
+ * Fix for libwnck with iconify animation (Unmap the parent of the client's
+ window)
+ * Force the top left corner of new windows onto the screen area, if the
+ position wasn't requested by the user (Fix xpdf and others hiding their
+ titlebar under a panel)
+ * Fix for determining text geometry from Pango
+ * Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
+ log in.
+ * The <desktop> section from the configuration file is only used for
+ defaults, and so is only applied at the start of a new log-in. (Use ObConf
+ 1.6.2 to change the config file for these options, and have them set
+ immediately, if you don't use a session manager to save them.)

+ * Fix for window placement using wrong dimensions
+ * Stop xemacs ConfigureNotify storm
+ * Fix bug stopping panels from moving themselves off-screen to hide
+ themselves
+ * Fix for GNOME/Openbox and openbox-gnome-session to use a new session name,
+ because GNOME won't let you replace the window manager in the saved session
+ * Don't restore session state when multiple windows have the same
+ identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
+ * Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable

+ will not be pre-built with the wrong info
+ * Fix pkg-config files for compiling things against Openbox libraries
+
+3.3.990:
+ * Wildcard matching for per-application (per-window) settings. Let you match
+ multiple rules for a window. (Props to Mark Pustjens for code to do this.)
+ * Added startup notification support to the menus and key/mouse bindings
+ with <startupnotify>. It's an option for execute actions.
+ * New combined client menu, accessed with
+ <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>

+ openbox-session command
+ * Many code paths made significantly faster
+ * Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
+ save/restore and input focus handling
+ * Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
+ the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
+ * Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
+ windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
+ windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
+ focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
+ * Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
+ code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
+ * Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency

+ * Support 8-bit truecolor visuals (such as in vncserver)
+ * Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
+ * Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
+ * Iconify/restore animation !
+ * Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
+ - won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
+ clicking on the desktop (root window).
+ * Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
+ can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
+ * Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
+ * Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
+ * Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
+ DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
+ * Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
+ * Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
+ * Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
+ * Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop
+ (multiple firefox windows for example) - move to the desktop when you're

+ * New keychains popup, to show where you are in a keychain

+ VLC
+ * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
+ protocol
+ * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
+ from other apps like pagers
+ * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
+ * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
+ openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
+ session with Openbox as the window manager.
+ * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
+ the hideDisabled option from config file)
+ * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
+ * When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
+ activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
+ * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
+ minimalism
+ * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
+ * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
+ know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
+ application is focused
+ * Improvements in the distributed themes
+ * Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
+ * Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
+ config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.

+ properties when you didnt mean to)

+ (button masks) will be centered
+ * Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
+ * New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
+ need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
+ is synonym for Handle.

+ is usually bound to Mod4. xmodmap will show your mapping.
+ * The per-app setting <head> has been renamed to <monitor>
