- auto start for openbox is at ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh as shown by http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Autostart
- ubuntu starts openbox from script so autostart doesn't work so I put in this line:
/home/mythtv/.config/openbox/autostart.sh &
right at the end of the file called /usr/share/mythtv/startmythtv.sh and it works!!!
