Hi,

Thanks very much for the report - I'm sorry it's taken me a while to take a look.

I installed openbox on my computer running Ubuntu 15.10, made myself an .xsession file containing the following lines:

exec openbox &
xterm

And tried your example in the xterm:

$ gxmessage -buttons "_Foo,_Bar" "Example"

When I hold down the ALT key, the underscores appear as they should, and I can hit either ALT F or ALT B to trigger the buttons.

So I'm not sure why you're seeing different results :/

Are you sure the gxmessage window has keyboard focus when you press ALT? (Yes yes, obvious question, sorry :)

Are ALT shortcuts working in any other GTK-based apps you've installed?

Thanks,

Tim

gxmessage -buttons "_Foo,_Bar" "Example"

gives me the expected gxmessage window but the keyboard shortcuts (or is there a better name?) implied (either f, F, b, or B) have no effect. The window just sits there until I click a button.

This is under Ubuntu 14.04 with plain Openbox as the sole DE (no Unity, no Lubuntu, no LXDE, just Openbox) in Lxterminal using bash, everything fully updated. Mine is a pretty lightweight system, built up from a mini iso (a small cli only installer) installation by installing X, Openbox, lightdm, lxterminal, etc.

Maybe I'm missing some undocumented dependency?
