Make sure you 'reconfigure' or restart your openbox after modifications.

Any event in the actual client window are will be handled by BOTH..
  <context name="Client">   and  <context name="Frame">

make sure you remove any unwanted raise parts from BOTH.

Frame is the more global, and I have now modified my rc file to
put that first, the 'Client' second.

Note anything you remove from the global 'Frame' may have to be put in
the individual titlebar and border contexts.  So if you still want raise
if you click on titlebar and borders you need to add them to those
contexts, which is what I have in my RC file (see link above).

It may be that by placing all event you globally want in "Frame' you
need no event handling at all in the 'Client' context.  However a 'Focus'
event is a good place holder event that does not hurt, which is why I
have them present in the "Client" context.

I suggest you copy all the mouse events section (mine or the origina RC)
and then slowly modify them to suit.  Be prepared to jump to a text
console or ssh from a remote machine, if something goes wrong!
