Do you still see this with the current openbox package? (3.5.2-2)

It would be useful to see the backtrace of the crash (e.g. created by abrt).

Comment 2 Sami Farin 2014-04-15 13:53:28 UTC

xmodmap does not crash anymore, but longer ~/.Xmodmap causes stalling for a minute. Therefore I now only run
xmodmap -e "keycode  54 = c C c C cent copyright" &

Comment 3 Miroslav Lichvar 2014-04-15 14:12:56 UTC

Ok, thanks for the information. I assume the crash was fixed between 3.5.0 and 3.5.2, let's close this bug.
