You didn't install openbox from source, did you? because that's a bit
of overkill. The particular guide you linked to says that version
3.4.6 is too old and 3.4.7 is better but the version shipped in Lucid
10.04 is even better: 3.4.10. And Ubuntu 11.04 has the latest version
of openbox: 3.4.11.2.

I'm a bit surprised that you find the command line more inviting than
Unity. And you don't have to give up Ubuntu to avoid Unity. Personally
I'm using Gnome Shell most of the time and maco of course uses KDE. On
the other hand, it doesn't hurt to give Debian a try either if you
like.

And to be clear since there is still misinformation out there:
gnome-panel 3 is fully installable in Ubuntu 11.10 which will be out
this fall. It just isn't on the main CD.
