Description:

Openbox is a highly configurable, next-generation Window Manager, written by Dana Jansens and Mikael Magnusson. This PND will install it, and add it as an option in the Switch GUI dialog box. Openbox offers fast execution and low resource-usage, and has been configured so you can easily launch PNDs, get online, and use Pandora-friendly keyboard shortcuts.

Updated to include warlock bar to automatically display desktop PNDs, and Nitrogen to graphically set backgrounds.

Further updated to enable easy switching of Openbox / GTK+ themes, implement user requests and fix minor problems.

Updated again to include tint2 panel.

Further updates for compatibility with official build, and additional functionality.

If you get the bug where most System applications appear in the root of the PNDs menu, please delete the CodecPack.pnd, as it's that pnd which causes the problem (I don't know why yet).

This new version (4) automates the install and seperates each program into it's own ipk - there's 10 in total, but the maximum size of the complete install is still only about 3 megs (this PND is bigger because it also contains Nitrogen).
