Usually you would have your login manager do auto-login of your account or 
so. You can't make init 5 start openbox without a login manager, but you 
can run 'startx' instead and set up your .xinitrc to launch openbox and 
whatever apps you want. Stuff init starts has to be daemons, and neither X 
nor openbox are daemons, but gdm is.
