PCMan FM Can't close root menu in fluxbox

I have been trying to set up PCManFM to handle my desktop in fluxbox (i want access to my ~/Desktop directory as...well...a desktop, like in GNOME) it works fine, aside from a slight visual flaw which is not a big deal for me. However, while I can GET a root menu, I can't BANISH the root menu by clicking on the desktop. The only way to banish the menu is to click the little strip of fluxbox's background that is still visible or to kill the pcmanfm process.
Any ideas on how to get that to work properly?
Thanks in advance!

yup. This was a huge source of irritation to me as well when I used Fluxbox. I eventually just moved on to other WM's for different reasons, but I could never figure out how to banish the root menu without having to hit 'esc'
Openbox behaves the way you and I would like. The menu disappears as soon as you use your mouse to focus on any other window.

Can't access Root Menu on stand-alone DVD player

I'm revising someone else's DVD. I have an "End Jump" that takes me back to the menu when I hit NEXT. But hitting ROOT MENU on the remote just keeps playing the track. WHt might I be missing?
Chris

In the Outline, click on your disc, then look at the Inspector. What are the Remote Control settings set to? You will also need to click on your Track and also check its Remote Control settings.

WHAT CAN I DO TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY I5?? PLS HELP MY X TOOK CONTROL OF MY ROOT MENU

Someone hacked my iPhone 4 & 5 jail broke them & now I can't get any help to resolve this. My x is EXTREMELY TECH SAVVY & he is controlling everything through safari developer (I think) I've paid $600 in IT techs to try n help me all they did was clear out all spy/ad-ware & gave my laptops back. I've called apple several times they REFUSE TO HELP ME!! I'm not sure if its my x or not & can't prove it anyway. But I can't imagine a hacker intercepting my calls, deleting my texts, changing my passwords, turning my phone all the time, etc. I have not been able to access my google, iTunes, safari, yahoo accts since February. I've made all new accts, changed passwords & bang no access to those AGAIN!! I have 10,963 pics in my camera roll that i cant gain access to & my photostream & albums have been deleted. thats only a few goofy thjngs going on. This has been a nightmare. The last time I called apple to review diagnostics in hopes they could find SOMETHING-ANYTHING THAT MIGHT THROW UP A RED FLAG they weren't able to see any of my diagnostics they said. I had at least 10 pages of crashes, logs, etc & this apple csr couldn't help me because she said there's none?? How is that possible? I remember months back seeing something in the diagnostics that said report to apple, blah blah blah FALSE! So I'm assuming that evn though I have my settings to report to apple that he has somehow made it look like diagnostics are on but there really not. Not being tech savvy myself I don't know how to go about fixing this. Being a single mom, going thru a very ugly 2-yr divorce & having a sick mother I don't have the money to keep buying new iPhones. Please please someone help me. Guide me in the right direction & tell me what (if anything) I can do. I was told by a friend that if "he" or they whomever this is wants to they can get into my device anytime they want if there good enough & there's nothing I can do to stop it :'(( this is so unfair that not even apple will protect my privacy & exchange my device. I'm sick over this whole thing. 3 laptops, 2 iPhone 4's, an iphone 5, a nano & an iPad mini are being controlled by this person. There are so many goofy, weird things happening w/my iPhones I couldn't begin to even list them. I've filed a police report w/the local authorities & NOTHING & because I can't prove it may be my x I can't press a harassment charge against him. I'm afraid if I purchase a new iPhone he will hack that one too & ill never be free of this nightmare. Today's my bday & my family couldn't even get thru to me to wish me a happy birthday :'((
Thank you in advance to anyone who has any advice or help for me!!

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.

I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

Firefox is hanging after trying to update Adobe Flash. I can't fix it as long as Firefox is open, but I'm unable to close it-menu bar won't even appear.

In the process of updating Adobe Flash, Firefox froze. It registers as being open, and none of the fixes I've tried will work as long as it's open, but I can't close it. Even when I click on the Firefox icon, the Firefox menu bar doesn't appear. No Firefox window appears.

Good advice - I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.
•Understanding Safe Mode - tuts+ computer skills tutorial:
http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/understanding-safe-mode--mac-59897
•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

How can I close all windows in Preview?

Hi all
I can't seem to find a way to close all windows in Preview.
Can somebody try this and see if they get the same result I do.
1. Copy an image into the clipboard.
2. Open Preview
3. Hold down command-N for about 20 seconds.
You should end up with dozens of windows with the image that you copied.
Now, try to close them.
I've unchecked 'Restore windows when quitting and re-openng apps' in System Preferences
I've typed in the 'defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows' hack in the terminal window
I've quit Preview with the 'option' button held down and 'Quit and Close All Windows' showing in the menu.
No matter what I do, the windows keep coming back every time I start Preview.
This 'force restore' feature of Lion is starting to get really annoying.

If I hold down the option key and go to Preview->File the Close Window menu item changes to Close all
I answered the OP's question but I see now that the question wasn't what he was really asking.

[SOLVED] PekWM themes - the root menu

Is it possible to remove/change the 'title bar' of the root menu in pekwm? It is currently the same as all of my windows and I'd like it as something else/removed.
Solution: Menus and Windows have different themes, I had them set to the same in the theme file.

IPhoto ejected my memory card mid import but is saying that there is still an import in progress. I can't close the program or shutdown my computer.

I was trying to import some photos (probably close to 300) and iphoto ejected my memory card in the middle of that process. The photos have not been imported, and now I can't close iPhoto, or even shut down my computer (macbook pro) because it keeps saying that Iphoto is cancelling restarts. I've tried to close the program but it doesn't seem to be working.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get iphoto to shut down mid import?

I can't close one window in Safari.

I can't close one window in Safari. I'm on an iMac 27", OSX 10.9.4 and using Safari Version 7.0.5. I have several windows open - one with the header in grey (as they appear when not selected) and am able to individually close the other windows. The problem window has several tabs. I cannot close that window. If I try to select it, the top bar remains grey. I've quit and restarted, run disc utilities, run permissions and no problems show. At a loss how to handle this. I do not have this problem with Firefox.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Can't close documents in Preview or TextEdit

I have a simple problem which I just cannot find any discussion of how to fix. In both TextEdit and Preview (classic culprits on Lion), I have documents I can't close.
When I click the close button it waits for a few seconds then does nothing. Same for menu commands. If I quit and reopen, the app opens with those windows. If I restart, the app still has those windows. If I "Duplicate" a file, not only can I then not close that file either, but I also can't "Save" the file (to give it it's own name).
I have several document open now in Preview which are basically permanent fixtures of the app.
I imagine the version store is corrupt. Can I delete it? where is it?

Is it save to hunt down the versions of those files and delete those? Or is there only one, huge versions file for the whole drive?
It is a critical operation - I would only attempt it if you do not know your System well. I suspect one of the Frameworks in /Library/Frameworks might be corrupt, that can happen, if you install some app that installs its own Frameworks, and accidentally installs an incompatible version. So what you would have to do is to compare the backup of the /Library/Frameworks folder with your current Frameworks and try to spot a difference and then to restore that different file. You need to quit all Applications while you do that, and still you would risk to cut the branch that you are sitting on - this operation is best be done from a second machine, so as not to change the system while it is running. It would be safer to reinstall Lion by booting into the recovery HD.
Before you take any drastic measures, perhaps another test: Do you have a second account on your system? Then it would be a good idea to check if "Preview" and "Textedit" show the same buggy behaviour when started from another account. If they work fine, then the problem must be caused by something in your user library and not in the system library.
Also you could try to boot into "Safe Mode". This will turn off start up items and third party extensions, that may cause problems.
If the problem occurs in all these tests, then I would opt for a reinstall.

Can't close firefox tabs even in safemode. (Windows 7)

I normally run firefox with NoScript and AdBlock. Lately I have been unable to close tabs and after research saw that it was recommended to try safe mode. Safe mode has been working fine for me, but just now I cleared my cache and now I can't close tabs even in safe mode.
Edit: Shortly after posting this question, I tried to open a new tab and firefox froze up. I had to close it via the task manager.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.
