Run-Dialog / Meta-F2-Hotkey / Configuration

Hi all,

when you hit Meta-F2 to bring up the run-dialog of LXDE it is launched but
it does not get the focus. I tested this with the Fedora-17-LXDE i386
Live-CD and a fresh install from it.

The solution for this issue is to alter the .config/openbox/lxde -rc.xml
file and add the following entry:

<!-- Add in <applications>-section -->
<application name="lxpanel" class="Lxpanel">
      <focus>yes</focus>
</application>


IMHO the configuration of the LXDE-Spin should have this entry, because if
a user hits Meta-F2 she wants to have a focused Run-Dialog.

The Lubuntu-Users seem to have already made this fix to the configuration
file:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/889414

I am unsure if this is a feature request or a bug report.

Kind regards,
Wolfram
