Openbox menu etc doesn´t show [SOLVED]

Hi, I really need some help here.
I can´t figure out what the hell is wrong with my openbox.
I had it running smooth, and because Im new to Linux and Arch I played around I guess and configured.
Somehow I guess I have configured somesthing totally wrong and now my Openbox don´t work as it should.

I have tried to replace the rc.xml, menu.xml and the autostart.sh with the defaults and still it doesn´t help!
When I start Openbox pypanel is supposed to be started, it worked before.
The only thing that comes up when I log in on openbox now is Conky and nothing else. The right click menu nothing works.
I will post some configs that is related to the subject and I would be very glad if someone could guide me
Btw im running Openbox with Gnome.

rc.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Re: Openbox menu etc doesn´t show [SOLVED]

That's because you didn't put an "&" after conky in your autostart.sh
Do that, replace "conky" with "conky &"

Re: Openbox menu etc doesn´t show [SOLVED]

moljac's suggestion should solve your problems.  a little best-practice advice from an avid openbox fan...

adjust your autostart.sh like this  (unless you want all that GTK/KDE crap -- i don't):

# A Minimal Autostart.sh
eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` &
setxkbmap se
(sleep 1 && pypanel) &
(sleep 1 && conky) &

and also be sure to run

openbox --reconfigure

whenever you edit rc.xml or menu.xml

have fun!

Re: Openbox menu etc doesn´t show [SOLVED]

Ohh thanks guys!
It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer

But again, really thanks!

that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself.  with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.

also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background.  that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.

all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

Ok then I understand what it´s all about, something more to stash on my mind.

Thanks for all the help!
