I want to start pypanel simultaneously with starting openbox. That doesn't work though.
First I wanted to do that via .xinitrc:
pypanel &
exec openbox-session
After that didn't work I did the same thing from openbox' autostart.sh:
# Run system-wide support
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART
nitrogen --restore &
pypanel
That didn't work out either.
Running it from terminal though - after openbox booted - everything is fine.

this is what i use to start pypanel with compiz. It should also work with openbox.
save the following script to a file and start it in your .xinitrc before the exec openbox:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 6
pypanel &
[edit]
did you try to start pypanel in the background in the autostart.sh?

Try this one:
˜/.xinitrc:
exec openbox-session
˜/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
(sleep 2 && pypanel) &

This can be used for everything I want to start with openbox, can't I?
E.g. nitrogen?I'll give it a try-
Yes, everything that you want to start with openbox should be here.

You would put all login stuff here, but not all of it needs the 'sleep 2' portion. mine looks something like:
nitrogen --restore &
(sleep 2 && pypanel) &
gnome-power-manager &
volwheel &
nm-applet
