I did, and it's most yummy :)

I might be talking utter garbage (which I often do), but it seemed to me
that the config docs at
http://www.icculus.org/openbox/docs.php?page=details.html&PHPSESSID=f8eb26ab18213caa2a03e8e40dd8983c
don't seem to list all the current keywords. Not that it matters to me
now, as I have my beloved autoraise. So I'm quite content to just go and
sit in a corner hum a little happy tune...

I've started playing with them. fbpanel looks pretty reasonable (if not
pretty).

One minor annoynance is that when a menu is open on the desktop, and a
submenu which doesn't fit on the screen is opened, the whole menu
structure jumps up, rather than just the submenu. I find it quite...
distracting.

Now all that is missing is the passing of middle clicks through to the
dock, and I'm a _really_ happy bunny.

Keep up the good work, and many thanks.

Cheers
    Dave
