Stick windows in Openbox

Is it possible to stick windows to a desktop in Openbox?

I have searched a bit, and what I find is that I have to right-click on the top border and choose stick. But I don't have that choice.

Using the latest Arch package.

Try right-clicking the top border. Then select Send to desktop > All Desktops. This should work like the feature stick.

Yes, but then it sticks on all desktops. I just want it on desktop one. And I don't want it to move to desktop two when I click on a link in Thunderbird on desktop two.

Perhaps this is what you need.

You can specify per app settings in openbox, for example make program X always start on desktop Y.

Theres also devilspie, its WM independent (though i doubt it works well with tiledWMs), in case you decide to switch from openbox, itll work mostly with everything.
The rule syntax is cleaner and a bit more flexible than openbox.
