Comments: Includes the following patch:
                http://schiewek.net/fresch/dmenu-3.9-fresch-3.diff
                This adds extra functions such as width, x and y offsets,
                and many others. For a full list of options and usage,
                see the man page.

                The quickest way to get up and running with dmenu is to
                create a keyboard shortcut to dmenu_run
               
                If you use openbox, and want to specify custom options,
                create a wrapper script for the keyboard shortcut to
                execute.

                For example:
                $ cat - > /home/tc/.dmenu
                exec dmenu_run -h 150 -ni -p "$" -rs -w 200 -x 540 -y 325 \
                -nb "#000" -nf "#bbb" -sb "#666" -sf "#fff" -i
                ^D
                $ chmod +x /home/tc/.dmenu
                Edit /home/tc/.config/openbox/rc.xml
                Find the keyboard section, and add:
                  <keybind key="W-space">
                    <action name="Execute">
                      <execute>/home/tc/.dmenu</execute>
                    </action>
                  </keybind>
               
                Then restart openbox. Now the super+space key combo will
                start up dmenu.
