[openbox] menu.xml - I thought It Only Had One Format/Standard?

This is all that you need to understand the problem and the previous solution.

And if you had done this several posts ago then someone could have clearly
shown you exactly where the problem is.

I think you need to take the time to try to understand the replies that you get
when people try to help you. I also think that you need to put more effort into
formulating your questions and providing the requested and relevant information
when seeking help. That fact that you have mixed up ID tags, posted an
irrelevant file rather than the one that you changed, and failed to provide
full context even after several posts indicates that you are careless. If you
can't even make the effort to ask the question correctly, then you definitely
shouldn't be telling people who provide correct answers that they need to do
more.

Everything so far indicates that this is a PEBKAC. Take the time to go over
everything slowly and carefully and you will have your solution.
