   I came across the situation again:  it's the GNOME enter-root-password 
prompt when running admin. tasks from the GNOME menu (the pam helper wotsit).

   What it's *actually* doing, is grabbing the keyboard and mouse, such that 
Openbox can't use the mouse to drag.

   Fortunately, I enable the Xorg '<Alt-Ctrl-/>' (and -*) 'kill 
mouse/keyboard grab' options, so in this situation I can mash those and get 
to move the window.
