Re: [SOLVED] Xorg-Openbox and possibly something else problem
I had ran the cp command described in the xinit entry to make a xinit file in my home directory, but running it makes a file with the path ~/.xinitrc/xinitrc and not ~/.xinitrc. So I created a blank ~/.xinitrc file and then ran the cp command which seems to fix it.
$cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
Which wiki do you mean?

The official one, I had put the command you have written, but it created the ~/.xinitrc/xinitrc file instead of ~/.xinitrc
I had to create a blank ~/.xinitrc with nano and then run the command you've written to do it correctly, it doesn't make sense but that's what happened to me

That's not possible. At all. Check your shell history - chances are there's a stray blank and you copied /etc/X11/xinit to ~/.xinitrc

Once I get home I will delete my ~/.xinitrc and I will rerun the command, then post the result here.

Well it seems you were absolutely right, I had done a mistake. So thanks for your help all along, now I can continue solving the rest of my problems with configuring openbox and make it look usable.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg-Openbox and possibly something else problem
Please open new threads for those and remember to mark this one as resolved by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
