So I have this issue. I've been using Openbox for quite a few months now and I've just migrated away from using xfce4-panel with Openbox (not Xfce with Openbox) and a few issues have arisen. I managed to fix most of them, but the one that keeps bothering me is the fact that openbox-session doesn't launch the Openbox window manager from SLiM.
I've tried placing openbox --replace in my autostart.sh and starting x from bash and it works, but 'exec openbox-session' in ~/.xinitrc doesn't seem to be executing the openbox window manager.
Here's my autostart.sh:
# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART
# Programs to launch at startup
nitrogen --restore &
# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
# (sleep 3 && xfwm4) &
# (sleep 2 && xfce4-panel) &
# (sleep 1 && openbox --replace) &
(sleep 2 && stalonetray -w) &
(sleep 3 && tint) &
(sleep 4 && netwmpager) &
(sleep 5 && conky) &
(sleep 6 && pidgin)
Thanks.

maybe you should run first openbox then the other programs ( exec openbox & xfce4-panel ) that should work . place it in your .xinitrc because slim read this file...

Doesn't openbox-session execute the openbox window manager as well as autostart.sh?
I should've mentioned that my autostart.sh is being executed when I log in through SLiM and everything is working fine, just the Openbox window manager doesn't seem to be executing.

oups sorry yes ... backup your .xinitrc .. create a new one and put in it " exec openbox-session & xfce4-panel" that should work

I noticed the last line of your autostart is not backgrounded:
(sleep 6 && pidgin)
Maybe try changing it to:
(sleep 6 && pidgin) &
You also don't need all those sleeps. Here's my autostart.sh:
# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
# Screensaver
xscreensaver -nosplash &
# Volume Management
thunar --daemon &
# Background Image
sh .fehbg &
# Keymap
xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
# Panel
xfce4-panel &

It seems to be working now via SLiM an even startx without placing openbox --replace in my autostart.sh. Thanks.
