Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openbox

As of openbox version 3.4.7, there is a terrible change:
Change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages to not change the current desktop, but to 
bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry standard 
policy 

This is really insane. I made a patch so that this would be configurable. The 
patch is here:
http://undomiel.ics.muni.cz/tmp/openbox.patch

and present a new option to the rc.xml, <focus> section:
<obeyNetActiveWindow>no/yes</obeyNetActiveWindow>

the default value is yes so that it follows default behavior. Those
annoyed by the net active window message may say no so that the previous
behavior is kept. I did not manage to reach any developer of the openbox
so I'm posting it here. I would really appreciate if it could be merged
to the ubuntu openbox package.
