Confirm! I can observe this issue too.

Confirmed here as well.

I realize now that I should have attached that as a file. Please remove the previous post.

Again, here's a PKGBUILD which moves "obprop" to "Obprop" for a quick fix for those who can't wait (attached).

I looked that obprop from openbox is similar to xprop from xorg-utils

I've sent a message to the Openbox mailing list to ask if they would consider changing the name to "obxprop" as it's similar in functionaly to xprop. I'll report back once I get a response.

Xyne, 10x for work! :-)

i think the fix should come from upstream; moving files around is too ubuntu-style and also a very big mistake of gentoo lately; altering file locations and/or files is not a good thing at all
too bad packages aren't installing their files in separate directories but that would be too windowsish, wouldn't it?

I got a reply on the Openbox mailing list from the main dev. The problem had already been reported on their bugtracker and obprop has been renamed to obxprop upstream.

Now we just need to wait for the next release unless Bash wants to modify the current PKGBUILD. :)
