If you are running Openbox on its own (not inside KDE or GNOME), the following will be available:

Middle mouse button on desktop Open a menu listing all your windows

Focus-follows-mouse

If you enable focus-follows-mouse, the default settings are to delay focusing windows you enter with the mouse by 200ms (1/5 of a second). This allows you to move across windows without focusing them.
