Sam,
The reason I chided you is that I happen to have inside knowledge that this
is a change ('problem') with the openbox package, not with setup.exe.
Version 0.99.1-3 of openbox installs to /usr/X11R6 (as many users requested)
rather than /usr as used in previous versions of openbox.
Thus, the files you are looking for are in /usr/X11R6/share...
This is the sort of thing that made me hesitant in changing the prefix
from /usr to /usr/X11R6. (Though Chuck had some excellent points that I
don't think can be addressed in any other way.)
So, the question is, does openbox work as expected with the 0.99.1-3
package? Or, is openbox trying to find its files in /usr/share still?
