Soo, I actually just answered my own question. Fixing the problem indeed lies in the ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
file, but I was not doing it right. To set the Ctrl Alt Delete option, you need to change the value between <command></command>
to false
(or a program that pops up a finger wag to the user).
The problem was, only four or so of the keys entries have a <command>
field to them, and all of the other use an <action="whatever"></action>
field to define the action that is being performed by the key. I was changing the value of "whatever" to false and was under the impression that would have the same effect as changing the command field.
But really, what you need to do is change the value of "whatever" to "Execute", and then nest a set of <command></command>
with a value set to false and it will set the key's mapping to false. I guess there must be a set of default values that are used to override improper changes to the lxde-rc.xml files, and that's why things kept working after removing the entries.
