btw, the rc code was changed, and line 55 is fixed in the PPA, so this shouldn't be another separated bug

Addition: it happens too without that line. Just a simple "segmentation fault: core dumped".

I have removed the lxappearance-obconf package and then lxappearnce launches. Also I think bug 1464899 might be a duplicate and the same problem but not sure which to make the master bug.

I have updated an older Lubuntu Wily installation -which had no lxappearance problems-, but witholding LXDE GTK+ theme switcher (plugin). The result after update is that LXappearance still works OK from menu (customize look and feel) as well as the terminal command lxappearance.

Here's mine: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxappearance/+bug/1469276

If you can't resist, mark it duplicate, I don't care. However, this bug contains two solutions:

hackish: downgrade lxappearance-obconf-plugin which is the actual culprit

non-hackish: upgrade openbox to 3.6.0

Probably all the crash of lxappearance are related to the ongoing migration to openbox 3.6. I hope the last upload I made on openbox will unblock the migration process, so we can see if there is another crash behind this.

First seen in the 20151019 release candidate of wily, openbox_3.6.1-1ubuntu2 should provide the fix.
