HowtTo run programs on OpenBox start? (pypanel,wallpaper etc.)

I've installed OpenBox using the wiki guide, but for some reson i can't start other programs on OpenBox start. and the only time i have a wallpaper is when i start OpenBox from KDM, when the wallpaper used in kdm stays when OpenBox starts.

Thanks advanced.

Edit your .xsession and put the stuff you want in there. This will be run by the Login-Manager. .xinitrc will only be used by startx.

But Slim uses the .xinitrc too .

I use the second method (run a script at openbox startup) on that wiki page and it works fine here.
