[openbox] My Openbox wishlist

[Kresimir Spes]

yeah, but that diesn't really do what an Alt-Tab should do, all it does 
is show the client-list-menu, and then I'd have to select a proper 
workspace etc. I want a quick way to switch between windows, but I'd 
like to see either labels or icons of all windows on the current workspace.
