Hi all, well I have recently switched to fluxbox from blackbox since I
liked some of the
features it has, for now I feel very comfortable yet have found some minor
annoyances that I haven't found a way to deal with them.

First the root,workspace,window menus are too sticky and when I
perform an action
over them some times they stay and I need to close them by myself with
some action and I don't want that behaviour, I'm wondering if there's
a way to set them to close as soon as I
perform an action(run a program, switch to an app in the workspace
switcher).

The two other annoyances I have found is with switching windows via keys
using NextWindow and PrevWindow, some times when many windows/tabs mixture
 are set on  a single workspace the NextWindow/PrevWindow commands
switch window but not focus .
I use SloppyFocus and yes the mouse is over the switched window, since
I use them all maxed most of time.

The last one is related to the NexWindow/PrevWindow compared to bbkeys.
In bbkeys when the NextWindow/PrevWindow is called a list with the current
windows is displayed and no switch is done until you have finished
selecting the
desired window.
I know  I can use bbkeys to replace this behaviour yet since FluxBox have
it's own key grabber I would like to have it on fluxbox native.

Well that's all for now. Now I send the current state of my system.
