In other word, openbox config don't allow define this. It is strange a
bit. There is a highest level option <middle> and there is the lowest
level option <position> inside the ShowMenu action but there is no
middle level options.
I think it is sane to add in the <keyboard> section new option
<ShowMenuPosition> that define the default menu placement for all
keybinds. Natural in each ShowMenu action may be defined own position as
now.
In my case:
<keyboard>
<ShowMenuPosition>
<x>center</x> <y>center</y>
</ShowMenuPosition>
...
</keyboard>
