This is not an issue with the Openbox keyboard shortcut. Running the command "lxsession-default -lock" does not lock the screen, despite sending the "lock" command to the session manager through dbus.

$ lxsession-default lock
lock

Launching lock manager

<From dbus-monitor>

method call sender=:1.40 -> dest=org.lxde.SessionManager serial=2 path=/org/lxde/SessionManager; interface=org.lxde.SessionManager; member=SessionLaunch
   string "lock"
   string ""

The fault appears to be with the lxsession program. I checked the source code for lxsession, and could not find a handler for the "lock" argument.
