[openbox] Prevent windows off screen?

[Miles]

interesting - it is true I've never totally "lost" a window. The
problem I'm seeing is that when I unplug my monitor, everything moves
to the laptop screen, but windows on the lower or right portion of the
screen are 90% offscreen, and that large windows are now larger than
the screen.
