    Thank You! Under all three systems I install openbox manually from 
sources (3.999.0 from git, 20.11.2009), but later under Crunchbang I try 
new 3.4.8. After reinstalling of 3.999.0 the problem is solved. Vertical 
Alt-Tab bar is the best!

    And about the 3.999.0.
    In November I send the patch based on the 3.999.0 sources (the 
submenu hide delay improved, bug #3762). In the 3.4.8 release this patch 
is not included and it is a bit not compatible with 3.4.8. "Master" 
branch 3.999.0 also is not modified from September. What I should to do 
with this patch? Nothing? Try to commit to the "master" branch? Make 
3.4.8 based version? Another?
    Where I may to learn about openbox development organization?
