So, the current version of openbox-session just sets the environment
and then execs the openbox binary, which sets itself as wm and then
executes "/usr/lib/openbox/openbox-autostart OPENBOX" or whatever is
passed to it via --startup. Is there any other "proper startup stuff "
that must be done _before_  executing openbox-autostart? Am I right to
assume that initialization stuff like xmodmap, screensaver stuff, etc
is done at the --startup phase? (I seem to remember some stuff in
autostart.sh needed a "sleep 1" to give time for ob to start. Is this
issue obsolete now?)

OK, I see that the xtra arguments are just passed to openbox-xdg-autostart

Thanks.
