I had some grief similar to this (with the latest 'beta') but not
quite the same. I was test-driving loads of config. changes that borked
the menu & involved continued 'openbox --replace' calls. These spawned
an exponential (in one case ~30 restarts -> >3000 instances) no. of
'openbox' entries in the session file.
I can only suggest what I did: once it's up once, log-out, then in a
fail-safe or terminal login, edit the ~/.gnome2/session file to remove
redundant entries and the '--replace' option.
