This sounds like a gtk issue to me, or possibly the apps in question. It
most likely has nothing to do with openbox.  During a DnD action, gtk is
probably grabs the mouse pointer (e.g. using XGrabPointer()), and not
letting it go.

I'm fairly certain that the DnD protocol does not involve the WM in any
way.
