Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
For a long while, I thought you should add things like "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG", the literal output of xprop/obxprop, but you should actually just abbreviate this part at least to either "normal, dialog, splash, utility, menu, toolbar, x, or desktop", as the comment-description that should come in the default rc.xml says.
That's particularly useful if you have different rules for different windows of the same application, like having the main window maximized...
For whatever reason Devil's Pie stopped working with the geeqie "move" dialog. My preferred GTK3 theme is kind of broken and will naturally create a window that's kind of crunched in itself, but it can be circumvented by determining its size. For a long while it worked with Devil's Pie, for some reason it stopped working.
This way: Open the profile folder, find the JSON file Preferences, find "printing" field (browser->extensions->printing), then add , "enabled": false into it.

May have some use outside of Openbox as well, I don't know. I have Openbox set up so the window focus will follow the mouse cursor, no need to click them to raise and so on, which I find usually convenient but sometimes it requires to toggle some windows to "always on top" in order to do some drag-and-drop operations and things like that. If I forget to do it, one of the windows will disappear below another and that's a bit annoying; sometimes I may have even toggled it, but toggled it...

Just found about it today.
With the program "tabbed" you can put xterm (maybe some other stuff, or similar terminals specifically, haven't examined it more than that) on a tabbed interface on Openbox (on Fluxbox anything can be tabbed with no additional tools...).
