[openbox] How is /usr/lib/openbox/openbox-xdg-autostart executed by Openbox?

The openbox-session man page states "openbox-session does not take any
command line arguments" and the following code in the script reflects
this:

if test -n "$1"; then
    echo "Syntax: openbox-session"
    echo
    echo "See the openbox-session(1) manpage for help."
  exit
fi

Meaning the "$@" at the end of the exec line is somewhat pointless I suppose?

If this test in the script was removed or updated to include the
arguments openbox-autostart accepts then I imagine it should work.
Perhaps this should be marked as a bug?

Thanks
