Description: after the update to obconf 2.0.3.git20100309-1 it gives this message at starting:

Failed to load an rc.xml. You have probably failed to install Openbox properly.

...and closes.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
obconf 2.0.3.git20100309-1
openbox 3.5.0-2

* config and/or log files etc.
Trying to start the program with:
$ obconf .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml (i use lxde)
...gives the same error.

Steps to reproduce: just start obconf after the latest update (2.0.3.git20100309-1)
This task depends upon

I also have the same bug - I can't start obconf even when specifying rc.xml file in command line implicitly

Not verified on a plain openbox system.
Probably an LXDE related issue. Does symlinking rc.xml -> lxde-rc.xml help?
Comment by Andrea Scarpino (BaSh) - Wednesday, 17 August 2011, 19:15 GMT
Yes, I guess it explicitly search for an rc.xml file now: http://git.openbox.org/?p=dana/obconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=42b0ea6c275835bee09e83a2e83dfb934825aa8a#patch3

I run an Openbox only desktop (not LXDE) and it works for me

Strangely, it doesn't run with "obconf --config-file .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml" (typed from ~) but starts with "cd .config/openbox/ && obconf --config-file lxde-rc.xml", with tons of gdk related errors.

Maybe it's GTK1/2 related (i have only gtk2 installed)

After a "yaourt -S gtk", error file (2>errorlog.txt) gives the same contents with the same size.

I don't think gdk related errors is relevant to this bug (or GTK version 1, for that matter).

I get the same error, you can still edit the .xml file to change the theme though.
