Well i got it working. I am not sure how even. I used the gconf-editor
and changed the entry in desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager to
/usr/local/bin/openbox.

The first time i did this it did not work. Then i changed it back to
metacity and restarted gnome and wham it started with openbox. Go
figure. I just changed it back and i will play with it some more to see
maybe what i did.
