i see.
thanks for telling.
i guess i'll just wait until my mainstream version gets fixed in that 
respect - don't feel like changing to a git version now.

btw, i was sometimes wondering where to find the most up-to-date 
documentation for ob?

it seems openbox.org's wiki is not. or is it?
no docs are shipped with my install, 3.5.2...
