Hello!

~From my point of view openbox doesn't have VERY IMPORTANT thing at the
moment - it's impossible to control it from external application, so I
have decided to add this functionality.

Here is basic impl of the functionality (yeah, VERY basic). At the
moment it supports receiving commands through named pipe
(/tmp/openboxctl) and sending them to the handler function. I'm not sure
on the syntax, which should be used for the commans, so I have
implemented only `exit` command for now.

Instructions:

1. Get latest openbox sources (i have used 3.2, but CVS should work as well)
2. Apply patch
3. automake (only Makefile.am i affected by patch, not Makefile.in)
4. Build, install, restart
5. echo exit >/tmp/openboxctl (for the test)

That is. When I'll get more free time (probably tomorrow), I'll continue
playing with it.

PS. How can I get invitation to openbox at freenode? My IRC ident is IceD^.

Best regards,
Andrew.
