Are you starting with

exec openbox-session &

Jeager · 2010-05-16 20:32:32

No I was starting with : "exec openbox"
with : "exec openbox-session &" X crash
with "exec openbox-session" everything work

So I think it's ok now right ?

X crashed because you backgrounded a window manager, which is stupid. So don't background your window manager. It's all right now.
