[openbox] Multiple menu files

[Robert Carson]

I think there is something crufty about your menu.xml file.  Try
nameing it something else like 'my-menu.xml' and putting an entry into
rc.xml between the <menu> tags like this:

<file>my-menu.xml</file>

remember this is a NEW entry in RC.XML if you already have an menu
file entry between the <menu> tag then leave it alone.  hope this
helps...
