Thanks. From https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/ , I see
that your codename is supported by the nouveau driver.

There is a new version of openbox 3.6.1-4 which addressed a dependency
issue between openbox-kde-session and plasma-workspace
(http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/o/openbox/openbox_3.6.1-4_changelog).
If you are using KDE as your desktop environment you can try upgrading
to it and see if it helps. Otherwise, that may not help much.

It is not readily obvious (to me) if these errors are related to your
particular issue.

My guess is that there is some sort of incompatibility between the
kernel, graphics driver and window manager? Try to reproduce the
problem by using a different window manager such as metacity. If it
works then report a bug against openbox. If it does not, report the
bug against xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ?

thanks
