First, you’ll need to install dmenu. You can download the source code from the dwm/wmii website and install that (’sudo make clean install’ in Ubuntu). It's also in the repo's.
You need to add dmenu.sh script to /usr/bin with this
Code:
#!/bin/sh
exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu ${1+"$@"}` && exec $exe
Create a text file with this and call it dmenu.sh and don't forget to make it executable (right click, properties, tick the run option)
For Openbox, this is what I added in the section of the rc.xml file in /home/paul/.config/openbox:
a keybinding with Alt + F3 to execute /usr/bin/dmenu.sh
Here is a screenshot of dmenu running at the bottom of the screen in Openbox:
This solution found in a combo of this page: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57302 and this http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/using-dmenu-in-pekwm-and-openbox/
