The title says it all - I'd like to have VirtualBox start in a particular workspace - is that possible with openbox?
Thanks!

Yes, it is.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Well, a 'start application in specific workspace openbox' search didn't help - that's why I posted here.
I didn't imagine the search had to be less specific ('openbox help') to find out what the answer to 'how to start an application in a specific workspace in openbox'!
There is google for you!

Alright then, look into the file ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml. There is a section about applications.
There you can set different things for applications, one of them is <desktop>...</desktop>. Obviously you should replace the "..." with the number of the desktop that you want the application to be started in.
Edit:
Well ok then, here is an example how I get Thunderbird to open on desktop 2.
<application class="Thunderbird*">
<desktop>2</desktop>
</application>
The instruction to get "application class" is:
xprop | grep "WM_WINDOW_ROLE\|WM_CLASS" && echo "WM_CLASS(STRING) = \"NAME\", \"CLASS\""
