[openbox] KDE configure options

[James Harr]

Thanks,

I think I'll use my .xinitrc file instead of modifying it globally for
everyone. I thought KDE had an option for window managers like gnome
does. You don't think it would be all that hard to implement..

Hopefully they do sometime in the future.

Thanks,
James Harr
