[openbox] Openbox and startx on Debian/Ubuntu

[Andrew Pennebaker]

Debian/Ubuntu dependencies should include xinit. Otherwise, there is no
guarantee that "startx" is present.

Problem:

1. Install a minimal version of Debian 6.0 Squeeze or Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.
2. $ apt-get install openbox
3. $ startx: command not found

Solution:

1. $ apt-get install xinit
2. $ echo "exec openbox-session" > ~/.xinitrc
3. $ startx

Cheers,
Andrew Pennebaker
