Hi Eric,
nice catch, we missed that openbox in the description. And we use xfwm4
because xfwm4 fits better for LXQt than openbox.
To be clear about: Openbox is the lowest common nominator, not the
standard - the most of the LXQt developers use kwin, some (me included)
use xfwm4. If kwin esp. kwin-wayland evolve and xfwm does not support
wayland when LXQt is ready we will most likely switch to kwin in the end
as default - but rigth now xfwm4 is a resonable and sensible choice.
It's a matter of personal taste too, has very few dependencies and is
damn fast. And not using openbox means also not using compton which is
dead in the water - a major advantage.
Cheers Alf
