I think the Lubuntu team hasn't had to upload to Openbox in a long time 
(if ever) since there's not been any problems with it up until now - 
however the recent GLib slice allocator removal threw us for a loop and 
needed an upload. At any rate, we were able to get a working upload 
sponsored, so there is now an example of a Lubuntu-team-assisted upload 
to Openbox here: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbox/3.6.1-10ubuntu1 The 
corresponding bug report is here:
