Well, you're running openbox3, our latest and greatest in-development,
menu-less window manager. :)

At the moment, if you want to play with openbox3, you'll have to run
stuff with keybindings (they're chainable) and mouse
bindings. Openbox3 does have a lot of features already, and some even
openbox2 didn't. But at the same time its missing some things (menus).

If you want to play with it, i recommend copying the defaults.py to
~/.openbox/user.py and edit it to your tastes.
