Openbox focus on dualhead system

Hi all,
I have a dualhead system, the primary screen running on a Geforce card
and the secondary screen running on an old ATI rage II. Because of
various problems with hardware acceleration on the Geforce, I am not
running a single xinerama display. Instead, I start an openbox on each
screen and use it like that.
This setup has only one problem: when I move the cursor from one screen
to another, the keyboard "focus" doesn't switch from one openbox to the
other, and so any keyboard shortcuts I use take effect on the screen I
was on before. I have to click on a window in the new screen (or open
one if none are open, annoying since the shortcut I use most often is to
open a new terminal) to get the focus to move to that openbox.
Is there an X notification that openbox could use to switch the focus
properly? Or is this bug not solvable with what X offers in the way of
events?
Thanks in advance,
David Anderson
