There is a key expansion app "x neural switched" when so configured. It is
a spelling correction app for non-native speaker of the language or using
the wrong keyboard.  You have to turn that stuff off.  X Neural Switcher
for Gnome, GTK2 frontend for Xneur. A. C. Kuznetsov and N. Yankin.

There is an action to toggle off and on all keybindings in openbox.  Here
is what I do:
 <keybind key="c-a-q" chroot="true">
        <keybind key="c-a-q"><action name="BreakChroot"/></keybind>
    </keybind>
