It might not be a cause of your issues, but Xmodmap is apparently broken 
so try using xkb to re-map keys. I use both Alt and Super to activate 
window cycling dialogs and have never had this problem. Though I do 
recall that when I used to use Xmodmap to set up a custom layout I would 
encounter issues with Openbox dialogs hanging similarly to what you 
described.
