... sure, but is openbox "not recommended" ? What about sddm or lightdm ?

from lxqt-panel.

Openbox is definitely not recommended because it's dead.

sddm is OK. Don't know about lightdm (is it being developed?)

from lxqt-panel.

Sorry, I was confusing DM and WM. Neither sddm or lightdm is a WM, what WM do you suggest ?

from lxqt-panel.

xfwm4 or kwin.

I use KWin, but most LXQt users prefer to stay away from it because of its many KDE dependencies. I've tried xfwm4 and found it to be a good WM. There are others too, but since I haven't used them, I can't recommend them.

Don't forget to disable the compositor you use (if any) before using a WM that comes with a compositor of its own (xfwm4 and kwin both do).

For xfwm you may have a look at the wiki.

I didn't get around to installing + configuring xfwm, but for the past few days on icewm this hasn't happened again, so it definitely points to openbox doing something wrong. Too bad, it'll take some effort to configure either icewm or xfwm to be similar to my openbox setup. Thanks for the support.

to be similar to my openbox setup

If things go well a wayland session using labwc should be really usable after the release of LXQt 2.0

from lxqt-panel.

so it definitely points to openbox

Openbox's problems started to happen years ago; I encountered them when testing multi-screen settings. In those days, they were limited to multiple monitors, but apparently they've got worse now.
