No, but it doesn't work, either.

Actually, all keys seem to work: arrows, ESC to close the menu, letters
as shortcuts when they are underlined in the app's title... only return
won't (and enter, and I also tried ^M).

I have tried to reinstall the initial config files, changes nothing...

Here is an excerpt of what I get with startx from
the console

"man xkbcomp" is quite cryptic for me... is it possible that this error
has corrupted my keyboard somewhere and only the menus (for now) can
see it ? (anyway xfce's menus are ok, only openbox behaves this way).
