[openbox] Openbox menu getting clobbered.

Hello Openbox

I've just switched to LXDE and am delighted with it. Have most things set  
up as required with the troubling exception of the menu I've specified  
being ignored at boot. Another is substituted, and I can't firgure out  
where it's coming from. Here's my ~/.config/openbox/

> $ l1 ~/.config/openbox/

As you can see, I've been experimenting. I tried renaming lxde-rc.xml to  
rc.xml and rebooted, but the system created a new default lxde-rc.xml and  
my custom settings disappeared, so the file is obviously being read.  
Here's my <menu> section within lxde-rc.xml:

     <!-- file>/usr/share/lxde/openbox/menu.xml</file -->

When I invoke 'obmenu' it reads ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml so it seems  
that the system is finding the menu somewhere else. New apps are  
recognized and installed if they're XDG-compliant, but I need to add  
others. Would someone be so kind as to explain what's happening here?

With thanks
