This would have been a possibility if root window events never worked. But
they work fine, for days, weeks, and then suddenly they do not work anymore.
Mouse clicks in windows, title bars and hot keys still work.
After some fiddling with programs and panel apps they sometimes work again.
Otherwise a logout/login is required. Openbox refresh and restart do not
help.
