LinuxQuestions.org - autostart.sh help-- no fbpanel

I'm trying to get an openbox environment up and running on Debian squeeze.

I downloaded fbpanel from the repo's to use as my panel. It starts fine from the terminal and I have my profile set up. I added it to autostart.sh in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh, it does not start automatically after reboot.

I'm utilizing the example autostart.sh from the openbox Wiki:

Code:

# Run the system-wide support stuff

. $GLOBALAUTOSTART



# Programs to launch at startup

hsetroot ~/wallpaper.png &

xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &



# SCIM support (for typing non-english characters)

export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8

export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM

export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim

export QT_IM_MODULE=scim

scim -d &



# Programs that will run after Openbox has started

(sleep 2 && fbpanel) &

fbpanel is at the very bottom.

I will admit that I do not fully understand the syntax of the file. :scratch:

From what I've read, I need to ensure that I'm starting openbox-session and not just openbox. I'm using the SLiM display/login manager and can't seem to find an option for openbox-session.

EDIT: After some research it appears that I need to check the ~/.xinitrc file. I will give it a go when my wife gives me my laptop back...
