Sort and improve readability of init

Confirm Cees' toolbar placement rewrites the init file.

Changing the fb-style with mx-tweak also results in an unordered init

Thank you (thought I'd gone bonkers)

Confirmed here as well!

The behavior seems to be: if configuring Fluxbox via the textfiles (i.e. changing the toolbar.placement directly in a text editor) it just never mucks up the init when reloading. Otherwise this would have been evident here as I configure directly via textfiles. Conversely, it seems when configuring it using the menu, it mucks the init up immediately :P when clicking on the menu entry (i.e. a new position for the toolbar), no reloading required.

seems like rootMenu --> Settings --> Configure --> anything results in an init rewrite

Yeah it looks like just blurts out all settings anew into the file, in the predetermined order it's made to do so :-]

I have always just used the text files + , so have never seen this problem.

BTW
1) the problem is not in the refresh/reconfigure coding, as I first thought, because if I open the init file and make a change using the menu path, I see that the scramble has already taken place.
2) it also doesn't seem to be a return to fundamental template, as far as I can tell: the init in /etx/X11/Fluxbox is very simple

Yep, same here.

@Melber's observation should be reason enough to disregard the categorized structure for MX25 - or at least for now, until one can find out how to address this basic fluxbox rewrite process

[Jerry3904]

I never had that entire submenu in MXFB until MX-23, and am now thinking of taking it back out--at least for myself.

The entries in our Menu > Settings > Configure (except the last)all bring up the relevant file in the text editor, where changes do not rearrange init that I have seen. Rearrangement only happens if you go through Menu > Settings > Configure > Window, that name being my renaming of the Fluxbox "Configure."

I could imagine a script "config_init_restore" that began by backing up the current init to ~/.restore/fluxbox/ then launched that handy little Window/Configure entry (moved out of the menu to ~/.fluxbix/submenus/) and then finished by restoring the backed up init after using sed to update the changed values. Not sure ATM how that would co-exist with the text editor method.

I prefer going through the root menu as apposed to editing the init file directly.
When setting the opacity of menus, windows and toolbars, it's a simple as scrolling the mouse wheel up and down.
