[openbox] problem in cygwin/XWin

Dear all,

When I start xwin I get the black screen (I think this the main
problem). Then I try openbox I see nothing. If I open some
application, e.g., xterm, it appears fine and works nice. But the
problem is -- when I minimize xterm or any applications it disappears
due to the black screen, and I cannot retrieve that application.

I know this is the cygwin/xwin problem, but I was wondering if there
is a way in openbox to set the background (e.g., as in the waker where
it set own background). I also attach my XWin.0.log, in case somebody
have hints.
