I was thinking of having Openbox as my main desktop environment...and I've been stumped on how to have a command that will lock the desktop and allow one to switch users (will be using GDM) and how to make Openbox's "Exit" Menu entry simply log the user out and bring them back to GDM. How do I do that?
For every problem, there is a solution that is:
Clean
Simple and most of all...wrong!

xlock and/or slock will enable you to lock the desktop. and the regular Openbox exit command should get you back to gdm if you have spawned it from inittab

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

(for the exit command) Weirdly it did not when I tried after spawning it from the inittab. Maybe I should try again ^^;

You should try this
And then you can add something like that in your menu.xml
<item label="Exit">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
python ~/Documents/scripts/shutdown_box/shutdown.py
</execute>
</action>
</item>
Edit: I missread... this script don't really solve your problem, but maybe you'll have some interest in it.
