I've just tried devilspie. Unfortunatelly it doesn't work as I expected.
Hiding it from tasklist is hiding it from my panel too.
That's not what I wanted.

I want to hide it only from ALT+TAB dialog.

What a pity... Seems that if devilspie hide some application then nothing
else could know about it, so both panel and alt+tab dialog box can't
display it then.

As far as I read there's no way to hide it only for one application
(openbox in this case), so it's useless for me.

If I hide it for every application then after minimizing it, there is no
way to get it back.

Unfortunatelly this makes openbox unusable for me. I've got plenty bad
habits, which will be hard to lose ;)

Anyway, thanks for all of you for your answers.
