   The options I have set are:   
   init:session.screen0.window.focus.alpha:        255   
   init:session.screen0.window.unfocus.alpha:      255   
   init:session.screen0.focusNewWindows:   true   
   init:session.screen0.noFocusWhileTypingDelay:   0   
   init:session.screen0.focusSameHead:     false   
   init:session.screen0.focusModel:        ClickFocus   
   init:session.screen0.tabFocusModel:     ClickToTabFocus   
   init.0:session.screen0.window.focus.alpha:      255   
   init.0:session.screen0.window.unfocus.alpha:    255   
   init.0:session.screen0.focusNewWindows: true   
   init.0:session.screen0.noFocusWhileTypingDelay: 0   
   init.0:session.screen0.focusSameHead:   false   
   init.0:session.screen0.focusModel:      ClickFocus   
   init.0:session.screen0.tabFocusModel:   ClickToTabFocus   
   keys:OnWindow Mod1 Mouse1 :MacroCmd {Raise} {Focus} {StartMoving}   
   keys:OnWindow Mod1 Mouse3 :MacroCmd {Raise} {Focus} {StartResizing   
   NearestCorner}   
   keys:OnTitlebar Mouse1 :MacroCmd {Raise} {Focus} {ActivateTab}   
      
   It seems to me that ClickFocus is set. When I started using Fluxbox   
   I thought there was a clickable menu I could bring up to change   
   the configuration on the fly, but now I can't seem to get such a menu.   
   I middle click on the toolbar but only a few things come up.

   In my .Xmodmap file I have two lines:   
   clear lock   
   keycode 66 = Control_L   
      
   It's been so long since I last set this I don't remeber what the Control_L is.   
      
   Thanks for responding.
