Any help greatly appreciated, I have been trying at this for two days and haven't gotten anywhere.
no, it is not stuck, it is terminated successfully.
If I need to guess lxterminal could not be started at all (because X server was terminated - so the mentioned socket cannot work).

I was under the impression that another terminal should pop up once the lxterminal socket is created. I manually terminated the X server after waiting about an hour and seeing no terminal, and thats why it indicates that the server terminates successfully. How do I get the terminal to appear once the socket is established?
Sorry if any of this is unclear, I am very new at this. I can provide more details where necessary.
there's no "xstart". PLease be precise. How exactly are you trying to start Xorg?
Is "trying" supposed to imply that it fails? You don't say.
You're right, I mistyped -- I meant I am calling startx on the command line. Based on my knowledge, startx looks for the .xinitrc file (which I pasted the code for in my original post) in order to determine which clients to run. It is failing because I don't see a terminal popping up even though lxterminal is one of my clients. I might be misunderstanding how openbox and lxterminal work together but I thought that this should open a terminal.

It should work with bash, too, but I'm not sure I ever tested that.
Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem-- I don't see a terminal pop up. When I simply run "openbox & lxterminal" from the command line I seem to get the correct behavior however. I'm wondering if perhaps there is a problem with X11Forwarding when I run it through the .xinitrc that makes it so the terminal cannot be displayed?
I just terminated it quicker in that case. Here is an example of the last few lines of the log when I waited longer:

You can see in this example that nothing happened in the time between the UnloadModule: evdev and when I terminated.
yes, that means when you terminate the X session evdev will be unloaded (and other things will be closed too) and finally the X server will terminate. That is ok.
I think you do not start X session properly, but we need to know exactly how is it started to be sure.

is definitely wrong, you cannot use exec and & in the same command.
