Does openbox make visual icons for minimized windows at all?  That would
be news to me - I thought not, and I never missed them ;-)

Working fine here with:

 [2+0]~$ cat /etc/debian_version 
7.0
 [3+0]~$ dpkg --status openbox
Package: openbox
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 1365
Maintainer: Ian Zimmerman <itz at buug.org>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3:3.5.0-4+leastoverlap2
 [4+0]~$ dpkg --status rxvt-unicode
Package: rxvt-unicode
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 2929
Maintainer: Debian rxvt-unicode Maintainers
 <pkg-urxvt-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64
Version: 9.15-2

(the peculiar openbox package version is my backport of the leastoverlap
patch, it should have no bearing on selections or clipboard)
