[SOLVED] nitrogen fails to set the background with openbox

Hi guys !

I have a strange issue . Yesterady everything was working fine . nitrogen would set my wallpaper at each boot . This morning for some reason nitrogen sets the background for about one second

and then it goes back to the default openbox background (the gray one) . I don't remember changing anything yesterday , i just added the multilib repository so i don't think this is an issue .

Here is my .xinitrc

nitrogen --restore &
xfce4-panel &
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

What i'm doing wrong ?

Re: [SOLVED] nitrogen fails to set the background with openbox

I've finally found the solution . Apparently i forgot to edit my autostart.sh file , so when i 've isntalled the xfce4-panel there was conlfict and the background was reset to the defaul .

After deleting the content of autostart.sh file and putting there the nitrogen and xfce4-panel commands and leaving the exec openbox-session at the .xinitrc file everything is fine
