disabling gnome-settings-daemon in Openbox.

Everytime I start Openbox, gnome-settings-daemon is loaded. It's not in my autostart.sh, and i'm getting sick of manually killing it. How do I stop it from starting?

Re: disabling gnome-settings-daemon in Openbox.

Check that your ~/.config/openbox/autostart isn't automatically starting the gnome-settings-daemon. I believe that there is some if...then logic in the that script that does if GSD is present or some such thing.
Truthfully, I just deleted the original autostart file and created my own from scratch. Hope this helps.

Re: disabling gnome-settings-daemon in Openbox.

This line in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh is responsible:

# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART

Commenting it will turn it off, along with everything else that /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh does. See our Openbox wiki page or the excellent Openbox wiki for more details.
