[openbox] Menu behaviour

Did you by any chance get any solutions to this off-list, or did I maybe
miss a response? The default Debian menus have this problem with a
vengeance if you have any number of packages installed (I know I could
redo them so it didn't happen but that would be both an initial and a
maintenance pain). It really is very difficult to navigate---depending
on where an item is in the menu I may just open an xterm and run it
'by hand' rather than try to get to it in the menus... Out of
curiosity, why was this behavior adopted? I assume it was deliberate and
with good reason since it's a variation from what seems to be the 'norm'
in most blackbox-like window managers...

I also hasten to add that other than this feature I love openbox and
think it's one of the greatest things since sliced bread ;). I'm hoping
there's an answer to your question so I can push it up even past the
'sliced bread' mark ;).

Thanks for a great piece of software!
