Following the wiki instructions, I created an ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
(which I rendered executable, in case that was the problem): containing the following:
#!/bin/sh
.HOME/.fehbg &
thunar -daemon &
.HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd &
also, my ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
exec openbox-session
Despite all this, when I launch startx openbox ignores autostart.sh
What has escaped me?

OK, I don't think this is the problem, but, why are you launch openbox-session twice?
I think you should put just this two statements (in this order), in your .xinitrc
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

I guess it kind of happened as I was doing the installation.:rolleyes: I modified .xinitrc as you suggested, but as you expected it did not improve the situation.

Also Shouldn't the thunar daemon be ran as :
thunar --daemon
When openbox session is ran it looks for ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh so as long as that is there I would just make sure the commands are correct.

You'll probably find that you still need the ampersand at the end of the thunar line
thunar --daemon &
As to the other two, do the files /home/<username>/.HOME/.fehbg and /home/<username>/.HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd exist or did you mean to use $HOME/.fehbg and $HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd?

Finally it worked!
I modified the autostart.sh as suggested
$HOME/.fehbg &
thunar --daemon &
tint2 &
$HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd &
I also had to do the following
chmod +x ~/.fehbg
to make the background work.
Thanks for the help
