There are a number of ways and which way depends on how you use openbox.


I for example have it set as the windowmanager for Gnome.
For other clients I asked gnome to run a 'client startup script' from
the 'session Preferences.

  Name: Personal Session
  Command:  bash .xgnome.extra
  Comment:  Start some extra applications

The ".xgnome.extra" file then starts my initial xterm windows
(I am a programmer!)  firefox, with default geometry and uses 'xwit'
to auto-iconify it once launched,  my mail program,  etc...
