Okay. We couldn't work out why tint2 was launching with a border on my 
machine. Is there a way that I can use an application specific setting in 
openbox's rc.xml to force tint2 (and xclock) to have no border, regardless 
of the fact that I have keepBorder on in the same file? I can't find a way 
and I'm wanting to check I haven't missed anything before I add a feature 
request.

Cheers,
