I installed a new theme from box-look last night and had everything working perfectly. When I logged in today, I am unable to resize the windows (or for that matter use any of the window controls).
I have looked through my rc.xml and can't see any obvious setting that would disable these controls. I have tried switching back to one of the original themes, but the behaviour persists.
Any ideas?

Doesn't Alt+Tab bring up the Openbox window menu?

It does: but it would be nice to be able to drag windows to a convenient size (and location)...
More to the point, I am curious how this functionality is controlled.

Have you read up on Openbox's documentation? Might give you some pointers... I'm not sure what you want to know. You can have Openbox do pseudo-tiling (resizing or relocating windows), if that's what you want.

@brisbin33 No - neither of these work.
@B I have been studying it.
The problem is that (over a 24 hour period) I went from being able to resize windows by dragging the bottom right corner or the border (and moving them with the title bar) to not being able to do either. I have tried various options in rc.xml to recover the functionality, but seem unable to do so.
Thanks for your pointers...

Have you tried in openbox, right clicking on the desktop and going to Reconfigure Openbox? Maybe there's a parsing error, so it can't properly use your config.

OK - I got it sorted: seems I had a malformed line in my <mouse> section, which for some reason wasn't throwing an error after a reconfigure...
