The application requesting a position under the panel. Since a few versions, when an application requests a very specific (and common) position under the panel, it is moved below it instead. But maybe these are asking something slightly different, and so Openbox believes they know what they are doing. > I have no idea and am using a top placed panel since quite a while without > ever noticing such a problem. Ktorrent also does not give me a problem. It opens under Openbox's placement policy, not from a position specified in the app, and so doesn't go under the panel. % ktorrent --version Qt: 4.6.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) KTorrent: 3.3.4 >> It also doesn't matter which panel or distribution is used.
