Hello,
I have in my autostart.sh file sth like this
wicd-gtk &
tint2 &
start-pulseaudio-x11 &
kupfer &
nitrogen --restore &
And the problem is that kupfer and wicd are opened twice when I log in. I check and in Kupfer I disable option to auto start in wicd-gtk I can't find option to set auto start. Nitrogen set properly wallpaper and after1 second it is turned to blue colour. I need to type again nitroge --restore & to set correct wallpaper. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

you are using standalone openbox? Or you are using openbox with another desktop enviroment like for example gnome? Maybe that's the problem why your applications starts 2 times.
If you are using only openbox try to use the comand sleep like for example:
sleep 5 && wicd-gtk

I have standalone openbox and I try to add sleep but than desktop even don't show up only blue screen and nothing else. Here is how it look after desktop start.(I have set transparency to terminal almost 100%)

Actually, at least with stalonetray which I use, wicd-gtk doesn't need to be in the autostart file to have the icon in the panel, just put wicd in the daemons in /etc/rc.conf.
The blue screen appeared for me yesterday after updates. If only I could remember WHICH updates. Conky, stalonetray, transparency etc work, just nitrogen doesn't load wallpaper automatically except for a second. Also I THINK some screen fonts have changed (firefox, folder and file titles in thunar). It's not the nitrogen autostart because the blue screen appeared when I removed it from autostart.sh.
Can't find anything indicating problems in the xorg log or in .xsession-errors...

Try using sleep like this:
(sleep 5 && wicd-gtk) &
tint2 &
start-pulseaudio-x11 &
kupfer &
nitrogen --restore &

It still doesn't work. After log in you can type again in terminal nitrogen --restore and wallpaper is back although it doesn't solve the problem...

they aren't any files.

Do you start them in any of your bash files, like .bashrc or .bash_profile?
Offline
No I start them using .config/openbox/autostart.sh.
[@ ~]$ cat .bashrc
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
[@ ~]$ cat .bash_profile
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

I had this happen to me with wicd-gtk, but I don't think I ever figured out why, I just removed it from my autostart.sh

I remove wicd but this don't solve problem. Blue screen doesn't come from wicd
