Hi,

No problem,

The problem is most likely your openbox config for Lubuntu, which I do
not remember the name of it (I don't use the GTK version of Lubuntu,
only the Qt)

So there might be a lubuntu folder in .config with an xml file for
openbox (with the .rc ending) OR it could be a file in the openbox
directory there.

Glad it worked!
