[openbox] How to Debug an OpenBox programming change?

[Jim Rees]

I've got this in my .xsession:

if (-f openbox.log && -x src/openbox/$CPU/openbox/.libs/openbox) then
  exec src/openbox/$CPU/openbox/.libs/openbox --debug >>openbox.log

So if I have a log file in my home directory, then openbox gets started with
--debug and sends its output to the log file. If you don't use .xsession I
don't know how you'd do this but there must be a way.

You can also run gdb on openbox from another console or ssh session but it's
a bit of a pain and I haven't found I need it very often.
