Public bug reported:

There is a menu.xml and a rc.xml in /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox:
https://git.lubuntu.me/Lubuntu/lubuntu-default-settings/src/branch/ubuntu/noble/src/usr/share/lubuntu/openbox

We already have these files in /etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu/openbox:
https://git.lubuntu.me/Lubuntu/lubuntu-default-settings/src/branch/ubuntu/noble/src/etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu/openbox

The latter is part of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, where as the former is part of
$XDG_DATA_DIRS. Of the two, Openbox only searches $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, so
these files are of little functional concern.

However, should a user add the directory to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS or should
they copy it to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, this could create
all sorts of problems. Outside of the fact that it refers to old
vestiges of the LXDE Lubuntu (like lxsession-default), there is a
potential problem for shortcut conflicts and thus unexpected behavior.
We long ago moved most of the shortcuts out of the Openbox configuration
and into lxqt-globalkeys because of the potential for conflicts.

It looks like during the LXDE -> LXQt transition, we deprecated a lot of config 
files, but apparently missed these:
