So, you did exactly what I had in mind :-) I happy to see that other
people are able to use it without many explanations :-)

If it's a text based configuration file, it can be added to lxsession
conffiles mechanism. I just need the location of the configuration
file in home directory.

In desktop.conf, you still using the Lubuntu session for openbox. So,
it will load the Lubuntu configuration file.
To do what you want, you have to use openbox-custom as windows
manager, and put the path of your configuration file into session.
That's probably not so obvious, so I probably need to make it easier.

I confirm this. You should at least use the Lubuntu daily PPA if you
want to use it on something different that 13.10.
