so, using this rc.xml gives me no problems here..

to make a backtrace:

first use ./configure --enable-debug, and recompile/install openbox

what distro do you use?  ubuntu makes it difficult to produce a core
file at all.. if its not ubuntu though..

add "ulimit -c unlimited" to you .xinitrc before openbox (this will
let it make a core file)

run openbox and make it crash

you should now have a file ~/core.

run "gdb /path/to/openbox ~/core"
in gdb, do the command: "bt"

and then it will print the whole backtrace...

there may be more clear guides on the interwebs that might be helpful as well.

i think we may need this to have any chance of finding it..

thanks,
