I'm not exactly sure here, but aren't the standard power events in systemd 
handled by a daemon running outside openbox?

I thought that the handler kinds eg no-session, tty-session, any-session were 
supposed to allow some control over whether I can switch off the machine with 
other users logged on etc etc. Perhaps with cgroups those sorts of capabilities 
can be passed on to another program.

Openbox is actually running as a user process so it has no greater rights than 
the user; that makes the use of a more capable daemon a bit more reasonable.
