If you reconfigure your viewport with randr, then openbox will move
any offscreen windows offscreen. Merely unplugging a monitor won't
have any effect though.
Eg what I use (probably somewhat antiquated but you get the idea),
crton)
xrandr --fb 1680x2074 --output DVI-D-0 --pos 0x0 --mode 1280x1024
--output DVI-I-1 --pos 0x1024 --mode 1680x1050
;;
crtoff)
xrandr --fb 1680x2074 --output DVI-D-0 --off --output DVI-I-1 --pos
0x1024 --mode 1680x1050
;;
crtdisabled)
xrandr --fb 1680x1050 --output DVI-D-0 --off --output DVI-I-1 --pos
0x0 --mode 1680x1050
;;

Only the last of these would make openbox move any windows around,
because the actual server workspace gets smaller.
