Thanks! You might have noticed that I merged this patch ticket with my
own similar contribution at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53394>.

I missed the python2-xdg change in my patch, and I also did not replace
python with python-wrapper. Is the latter change necessary?

Is this note about "Patch imported from Debian" written by you?

We always try to give links to the source of patches, as well as a note
that explains the context of the patch and a link to any discussions
within Guix.

So, the patch file should start with something like this:

------
Make Openbox compatible with Python 2:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53750

Openbox seems to be abandoned upstream, with no activity in their Git repo since
2015:
