Personally, I wasn't too fond of fbpanel when I tried it. I ended up using 
pypanel, which I love.

Don't know if there's a way to do this directly (but someone else might know 
better). I use control-right-click to bring mine up. Here's the mouse binding 
from ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml:

     <mousebind button="C-Right" action="Press">
      <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>root-menu</menu></action>
    </mousebind>

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'on certain screens it doesn't work', but 
I did have a problem on my Gentoo system where obconf just wouldn't respond 
(wouldn't write anything to my config, wouldn't exit, sort of like the person 
who wrote it only made the GUI, without making it do anything) and I never 
really figured out why. I've since made that box command line only (its a 
server anyway), and I've never had any similar problems on my Ubuntu box. But 
a little more description of the problem wouldn't go amiss.

Slainte,
