No luck, openbox waits for this process too :(

The idea is that a pipe outputs "Loading..." and starts an independent process to download an RSS.
But OB waits for the background process, so it's kind of useless... I've tried spawning the process, system(".. &"), popen(".. &"), without any luck so far. The effect is that OB freezes while the RSS is being downloaded.
