fluxbox windowmenu not working

(1/1)

GNUser:
Sorry to bother you guys again. Any TC + fluxbox users out there?

I'm using fluxbox 1.3.5 (from official repository) in Corepure64. Everything works well except that no context menu appears when I right-click on a window's icon on the iconbar (the iconbar is the part of the toolbar that holds an icon for each existing window--some WMs call it the "window list"). Right-clicking on a window's titlebar does not bring up a context menu, either.

The file ~/.fluxbox/windowmenu exists and has correct permissions (ownership = bruno:staff, permissions = 664). I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

GNUser:
Here's what the file looks like (I haven't changed it, so these are its default contents):


--- Code: ---bruno@box:~$ cat ~/.fluxbox/windowmenu
[begin]
  [shade]
  [stick]
  [maximize]
  [iconify]
  [raise]
  [lower]
  [settitledialog]
  [sendto]
  [layer]
  [alpha]
  [extramenus]
  [separator]
  [close]
[end]

--- End code ---

Hi GNUser
I don't use fluxbox, but this looks like it might be helpful:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fluxbox

GNUser:
The Arch Linux wiki rocks, but my problem was too trivial for them to cover it.
I found that my ~/.fluxbox/init contained this:

--- Code: ---session.screen0.windowMenu:  /home/tc/.fluxbox/windowmenu
--- End code ---
...which is obviously not going to work because no such file exists (I use user=bruno boot code). Changing to this did the trick:

--- Code: ---session.screen0.windowMenu:  /home/bruno/.fluxbox/windowmenu
--- End code ---
