I would like to remove the following items in the openbox client menu:

  • Send to Desktop
  • Restore
  • Move
  • Resize
  • Iconify
  • Maximize
  • Roll up/down
  • Un/Decorate

This is the menu you can invoke by right clicking on the window decorations or with ALT + Space.

Is there any way I can achieve this?

This menu is called the client-menu. Unfortunately there's no way to change the entries aside from modifiyng the source code.

However, if I understood you correctly you want to remove all menu entries aside from the ones pertaining to the window layer. In that case you can assign a shortcut to the client-layer-menu.

Open your openbox rc.xml (usually under $HOME/.config/openbox/rc.xml, might be called lxde-rc.xml or lubuntu-rc.xml depending on your DE). Find the following line:

<keybind key="A-space"><action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-menu</menu></action></keybind>

and replace it with:

<keybind key="A-Space"><action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-layer-menu</menu></action></keybind>

As for the window close option you lost by replacing the menus: You can always use the ALT + F4 shortcut.
