Bug Description

openbox 3.5.0-2ubuntu2
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Openbox crashes X.org, when running GTK 3.4 applications. X.org crashes intermittently , especially after clicking icons and menus. The crashes render the desktop practically unusable.

This bug was reported, and the patch was submitted at this URL.
https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5460

I can confirm, after applying the patch, the problem did subside.
