Hello,

Does adding the following to http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart correct, 
and justified?

The wmctrl (window manager control) command, by a 3rd party and not part of 
openbox, is not fully working from within the autostart file. In particular, 
the wmctrl -l, which lists the windows, does not work. Which is reasonble. 
From within the autostart file, the windows are at flux. In contrast, 
wmctrl -s <desktop #>, does work. It can be used to alter the desktop at 
which applications windows will be opened at. But not so for applications 
windows that are set at rc.xml.
