More information. Narrowed it down to something in my autostart.sh (not
surprisingly, since that's part of what openbox-session runs.
So, if I comment out the following lines, which came by default with
Openbox 3.4.10, the issue goes away, any thoughts on why?
# Preload stuff for KDE apps
if which start_kdeinit >/dev/null; then
LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup &
fi
FYI, start_kdeinit does exist on my system.
