The colon in the popup menu is for justification purposes: leading spaces are stripped and I wanted to push the date popup far enough to the right so that the mouse cursor doesn't obscure the text.

for the sake of completeness :
also add to rc.xml:

<file>date-popup.xml</file>

and to reload settings without relogin:

openbox --reconfigure
