I don't know why the QjackCtl Window sometimes is

issue, I needed to edit JWM's xml config. A small menu is what I want,
for JWM the menu only provides what I often need and by
Alt+F3 xfce4-appfinder is launched. I use JWM with a few Xfce4 apps,
but I replaced many Xfce4 apps by other apps. Xfce4 is stable, RAM and
computer's horsepower aren't issues, but I dislike some Xfce4 stuff. I
don't want crappy GNOME software, I want a perfect terminal emulation,
etc. this is possible with Xfce4, but you need to care about it,
remove gvfs, install roxterm, xfe, rodent or similar, when the Xfce4
defaults are not exactly what you want. JWM doesn't suffer from

Does openbox suffer from those issues?
Openbox comes pretty much bare bones, so you can use whatever you want
for things like panels, clipboard, terminals and so on, it's just a
window manager with a menu system (and you can fill the menu however
you like).
Editing the XML files is rarely needed, there are programs like obconf,
obmenu and obkey that can do that for you most of the time.
I think it does suffer from that, but what is described there is just
something that happens when a program freezes. That happens rarely
enough not to be a problem.
