[openbox] Multiple menu files

[Robert Carson]

good. now your menu needs to start off like this:

<openbox_menu>
<menu id="root-menu" label="Linuxbox - Openbox 3">
<menu id="aterms" label="aterms">
<item label="aterm - screen">
<action name="execute">
<execute>aterm </execute>
</action>
</item>
</menu>
</menu>
</openbox_menu>

Or something to that effect - i think the main thing is to have the
<openbox_menu> tag.
