Start jwm's Start menu from the Start button only

#1 Post by kirk1 »

Is there a way to disable the start menu from poping up when you click anywhere on the desktop? I'd like it to pop up only when I click on the "Start" button.

thanks

Have a look in the configuration file, open rox and click on the Show/hide hidden files at the top then open .jwmrc.

I don't see anything in the jwmrc file that would help. Thanks for the feed back though. Maybe I'm the only one that finds it annoying.

This also annoys me so I prefer using fvwm95. I don't like messing with the /root/.jwmrc file. How I wish someone would help us in our dilemma. :D

I posted this question on the JWM forum. Joe had the answer. Near the top of the /root/.jwmrc file you'll find this line:

<RootMenu label="Start" icon="mini-dog.xpm">

Change it to this:

<RootMenu label="Start" icon="mini-dog.xpm" onroot="false">

Restart JWM.
Now the start menu will only pop up when you click the Start button.
