How can I get start openbox at login using the GNOME/Openbox session?
- by skyblue
I want to be able to run openbox as my window manager in GNOME.
If I install openbox, I get the additional choices at the GDM login window of a 'GNOME/Openbox' and an 'openbox session'. If I log in with the 'openbox session', it starts openbox successfully. However, if I log in using the 'GNOME/Openbox' session so that I can run GNOME but just replace metacity with openbox, I find that openbox does not start, and that metacity is managing my application windows.
It looks something is not working in the GNOME/Openbox session in 10.04 (and possibly other versions of Ubuntu).
I know that I can manually replace metacity with openbox by typing 'openbox --replace', but I want to know the correct way of starting openbox in a GNOME environment automatically at logon.
