Thanks, Andre, for all of those great tips.
I've been looking at the Exec lines in several versions of
~/.config/autostart/LXRandR-autostart.desktop (created when one clicks
Save in LXRandR) and thinking about how I could create something that
would cause Fn-F7 to toggle through the LVDS, VGA and S-Video outputs,
but your approach -- simply binding to LXRandR -- is a MUCH better idea!
And if I wanted to add the ability to extend the desktop instead of
mirroring it, I could install arandr and just bind to that instead.

On lubuntu-rc.xml I do:

</keybind>
*lxrandr* deals with additional monitors, you just enable them an
apply.
I'm not sure what commands you can execute to sleep and hibernate,
but you can control radio with *rfkill*. I'm not sure if those
commands really require root access, but on that case you can do
a: *gksu command*

Hope that helps! To test the shortcuts without restarting all the
system you can restart only openbox: *openbox --restart*

Hi,
you can use arandr to make a shell script to switch the
display to a
certain mode. Plug in the monitor and use arandr to make a
setup you
want, and save that. Then open your config file for openbox
and set
the keyboard shortcut for your display key (i.e. XF86Display)
to execute the
<command>
/bin/bash /path/to/scriptname.sh
</command>
while scriptname.sh is whatever you saved the setup as with
the correct
path.
arandr is a front-end for xrandr. So the script is actually using
xrandr to modify your display settings.
I hope this helps.
