1) You need debug symbols in Openbox, so it needs to be configured
with --enable-debug or with CFLAGS="-ggdb" and built.

2) In .xinitrc before you run openbox-session put

ulimit -c unlimited

This will let it dump a core file in your ~ when it crashes.

3) Then make it crash and you should find a file called "core" in your ~ dir.

4) Run "gdb /path/to/openbox ~/core" to start the debugger.

5) In gdb, type "bt" to get it to print a backtrace.  If all you see
is ?s then debug symbols are missing (see step 1)

6) Send me a copy of the backtrace.  If the core file isn't too
ginormous, maybe you could also send a copy of the openbox binary and
core file together (so i can look at more details in the crash than
the backtrace).

Thanks very much :)
