+     Wed Apr 25 14:02:40 UTC 2007 - mikachu(a)openbox.org
          Fixed values for layer to be above/below, not top/bottom.
          Add chroot attribute and keybind element to keybind element.
          Remove xsd:sequence from everywhere, we don't care about order.
+     Thu Apr 26 09:11:03 EDT 2007 - danakj(a)orodu.net
+         Add the place attribute for fonts
