It would be helpful to know what's different between wm/openbox and
wm/openbox3 -- if it's just a new version, why wasn't the former simply
updated?  If it's not just a new version, then what's the difference?

Well, unless this is a different WM than wm/openbox, then I'd like to
mention -- just for completeness' sake -- that openbox was based on
Blackbox first.
