A simple Shutdown Dialog for Openbox written in C using GTK

Why?

I just bought a new laptop and on my workstation I was using ssd from Sawfish which I loved. I didn't want to go through all the steps of installing the necessary libraries and dependencies to get it to work, so I decided to create my own.

Dependencies and compilation

This app requires GTK+ 3.0 development libraries and gcc.

I am using this command to compile the program:

% gcc ssdd.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`

This produces the binary ssdd which you can place in your $PATH.

Configure Openbox to use it.

% sudo nvim /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml

Find the line with the standard Openbox Exit option and change it to <item label="Log Out"><action name="Execute"><execute>/home/stig/bin/ssdd</execute></item>

The reconfigure Openbox to use the new setting. % openbox --reconfigure
