Exiting Openbox via xfce4 panel. [SOLVED]

I've been trying different panels in openbox and have been experimenting xfce4-panel, which actually works pretty well. (Xfce4 was already installed on this system.)

Question: How can I get the "Exit" command as found in openbox's root menu default config to run from xfce4-panel's menu? I don't see an associated script.

Obviously I don't want to use the standard xfce4-panel "Quit" command, as it evidently requires xfce4-session, which would require a lot more xfce innards (and a much longer startup time) than I want to pull into this setup.

Re: Exiting Openbox via xfce4 panel. [SOLVED]

Running

openbox --exit

will do the trick.  Can you add a custom menu item to the panel which executes this?

Thanks, thayer. That's just what I was looking for. Yes, it's easy to add a custom menu item to xfce4-panel.
