FYI, this doesn't compile against 3.4.9:

openbox/actions/remember.c: In function 'activate_list_cb':
openbox/actions/remember.c:111: error: too few arguments to function 'client_activate'
make[1]: *** [openbox/actions/openbox_openbox-remember.o] Error 1

Happens with flash in Opera, too. You have to click outside of the flash plugin to defocus it.

Opening a window with a specific size and location

I am using FlightGear on a TV.   The TV has overscan, so if I set it to 
launch full screen I lose the outer edges.  Flightgear allows me to set 
the window size but not the window location.

Is there any way to launch a window with no decorations and a fixed 
location?  As I said, I can set the size from the app.

Putting

<application name="evince">
     <decor>no</decor>
     <position force="yes">
         <x>50</x> <!-- replace 50, 200 with whatever you like -->
         <y>200</y>
     </position>
</application>

inside the application tags of my rc.xml file worked for evince. See

Windows with no titlebar?

How do I get rid of ALL window decorations, including a window's titlebar?

I have been using for many years fvwm2 with my own most spartan theme, ie, no
window decorations AT ALL, including NO TITLEBAR (I move, resize, iconify, etc
windows by means of Ctrl/Alt/MouseClick combinations).  The only "panel" I use
is an autohiding taskbar.
 The goal is to make best use of my real estate. (Like the rooms of my house,
the windows of my applications---mostly emacs, a few xterms, firefox, acrobat,
and latex---take predictable positions on the screen, so I do not need and do
not want titles for them. Do you need signs for the kitchen and the bathroom in
your house?)

I'm very happy with my fvwm2 setup, but, for obvious reasons, I would like to
move on to OpenBox. Is there a simple way to get
 1. No titlebar on windows.
 2. No border or a 1-pixel-wide border (depending on the type of application,
with no-border as default).
 3. An autohiding taskbar.

If I can get that, I'll be very happy to switch to OpenBox. I'm quite willing
to do some homework. I've played a little with OpenBox configuration, but I
cannot find a a top functional view of OpenBox that will guide me in my
exploration.
 On the other hand, I should be able to generalize from a couple of examples of
how to do points 1, 2, and 3 above.

Thanks for any hints, or pointers to relevant answers already appeared on this
mailing list. I will pay back by writing clear and systematic documentation on
what I learn.

Re: Windows with no titlebar?

You should look here :
http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Applications
http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Actions#Decorate

And for a taskbar... you dont really need one, you can use a keybind
to client-list-menu o combined-client-list-menu (if i recall the name
of the menu right).

    'NextWindow' and 'client-list-combined-menu'.

    Yes, this is correct.
    But about a NextWindow dialog (bind to Alt-Tab by default). I think 
in some of the developer's releases has been showing contours of the 
windows when iterating on the Alt-Tab,Tab... It really was?
