I can make all five show up in the pager if I go into Preferences / Openbox Configuration Manager / Desktops and simply change the number of desktops, say, from 5 to 4 and then back to 5. The pager displays then displays the correct number of desktops and lets me move from one to another with a mouseclick in the corresponding space in the pager.

Googoo says that this is a known problem, apparently related to a conflict between Openbox and display managers. Most references call it a bug, I guess in Openbox. Some provide a workaround, but they're very clunky, if they work at all.

Each time, openbox retained the desired value for of desktops. And each time, razor-qt would override this setting, at least on initial launch. Razor-qt doesn't change the value in rc.xml, it just ignores it.

So clearly the conflict is between razor-qt and openbox. Actually, if I don't get it resolved, I'll probably go back to another window manager. I was simply trying to see what razor-qt has to offer. Besides this problem, I've encountered some other glitches, mainly in window management. Perhaps these, too, are "who's the boss" the problems between razor-qt and openbox.

A few weeks ago, I installed razor-qt on 14.04. everything was okay, but whenever i open a gtk application, it defaults to the elementary theme, as i had the pantheon de installed on it before. the window border is the gtk theme i want, as i use metacity, but even when i try to set the gtk theme in ubuntu tweak, it doesnt work, even as root. also i have installed the azenis icon theme, and it is okay in qt programs, but it defaults to elementary theme in gtk ones. my gtk and qt theme is delorean dark. any help is appreciated.

I managed to fix it myself, due to a previous post on askubuntu the things you need to do is: install lxappearance (sudo apt-get install lxappearance)then just set it to your desired icons and theme!.(note: when you set the theme, set it to a gtk theme, not the qt one or things will go wrong.)
