Bug Description
Raspbian buster release 10 running on a Raspberry Pi B.
Since I am only used to the "focus following mouse", and find having to click to enter keystrokes
into the window with my attention counter intuitive & rather dangerous (typing into the wrong program),I was disappointed that lxinput offers no option to correct the focus.
Thus I tried obconf. Great: the option was there. But while one aspect of the focus worked,
most of the mouse and keyboard entry was broken. Mouse over window raised the window, but the *keyboard* focus was still in the last window. Even worse, the mouse could no longer drag windows nor recognise clicks: it appeared that mouse events within windows were no longer recognised. Only in the panel did the mouse work normally.
I then tried editing ~/.config/
worked, so perhaps this is a bug in openbox?
Update. I said that editing lxde-pi-rc.xml did not work. However, it did start working after all.
This worked:

obconf remains broken. I have not tried an upgrade to testing.
