I tested and I still will continue testing openbox.
Until now I experience JWM as much more reliable than openbox.
I set a margin for the top of openbox's workspace, as large as the panel
on top is, but many windows hide their "heads" under the panel
(fbpanel). For JWM this issue only appears with QjackCtl (JWM's own
panel, also on top ;).

Openbox comes with a few other minor issues, but they are really minor
issues, so I will continue testing. Anyway, JWM on my machine seems to
be the better choice.

Regards,
Ralf
