Comment:
Ah, well I was referring to hoary, and the hoary deb doesn't depend on
libxinerama1.  I thought this was the right place as breezy hadn't been
released yet.  So for hoary, even if a package description claims
xinerama support, but wasn't built with it, the package will not be
updated?  I understand not adding new functionality or apps to a stable
release, but isn't this a bug?  Or at the very least a build error that
should be corrected?  If not, where can I educate myself on what is
considered a "bug" in a stable ubuntu distribution.

Apologies for any confusion.

Description: standards compliant, fast, light-weight, extensible window manager
 Openbox works with your applications, and makes your desktop easier to manage.
 This is because the approach to its development was the opposite of what seems
 to be the general case for window managers.  Openbox was written first to
 comply with standards and to work properly.  Only when that was in place did
 the team turn to the visual interface.

 Openbox is fully functional as a stand-alone working environment, or can be
 used as a drop-in replacement for the default window manager in the GNOME or
 KDE desktop environments.

 Openbox 3 is a completely new breed of window manager.  It is not based upon
 any existing code base, although the visual appearance has been based upon
 that of Blackbox.  Openbox 2 was based on the Blackbox 0.65.0 codebase.

 Some of the things to look for in Openbox are:

 * ICCCM and EWMH compliance!
 * Fast as f$%k!
 * Chainable key bindings!
 * Customizable mouse actions!
 * Window resistance!
 * Multi-head Xinerama support!
 * Pipe menus!
