   I had some grief similar to this (with the latest 'beta') but not 
quite the same.  I was test-driving loads of config. changes that borked 
the menu & involved continued 'openbox --replace' calls.  These spawned 
an exponential (in one case ~30 restarts -> >3000 instances) no. of 
'openbox' entries in the session file.

   I can only suggest what I did:  once it's up once, log-out, then in a 
fail-safe or terminal login, edit the ~/.gnome2/session file to remove 
redundant entries and the '--replace' option.
