I'm new to openbox but have already found great appreciation in using it. I've however got some troubles with my autostart file.
My ~/.config/openbox/autostart looks like:



 tint2
dbus-launch xfce4-power-manager
dbus-launch nm-applet
feh --bg-fill ~/Pictures/wallpaper/Matrix-Wallpaper-001.jpg


and while tint2 starts properly, none of the other commands get executed.
For troubleshooting I shrank it to:



 tint2
xfce4-power-manager
nm-applet


but still, only tint2... can anyone help out?

          You should run the commands in background, otherwise the next'll wait until the previous command has finished.



          To run a shell command in background just attach & – like that:



          tint2 &
          dbus-launch xfce4-power-manager &
          dbus-launch nm-applet &
          feh --bg-fill ~/Pictures/wallpaper/Matrix-Wallpaper-001.jpg &

            This has been pointed out on the openbox wiki Help:Autostart page:




            # Programs that will run after Openbox has started

            # Set the wallpaper
            hsetroot ~/wallpaper.png &

            # Run a Composite manager
            xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &

            # SCIM support (for typing non-english characters)
            scim -d &

            # A panel for good times
            fbpanel &


            To run commands for all users system-wide, place them in a similar
            file in /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.



            Make sure that you end any commands with "&" so that they are run in
            the background, or any programs after it will not run.
