A bug has been raised, mainly just so it has a bug [1]. After a brief
description it points to this mail conversation for further information.

As some comments have not been cc'd to the mailing list and thus not

Oh ok I see.

The answer is this is most probably the Lubuntu setup which triggers this.

You have the 3.5.* version of Openbox. (Not the patched 3.6.* git for
Mati75 at Lubuntu
testing).

There is a special "Lubuntu" setup which has these two apps started with
the user
session (whatever â-applet is).

So, there is a solution to solve it definitely, but I'm still working on it
with 2/3
other people. Then I'll get back to the Lubuntu team leader Julien about
it. It should
fix the issue.

For now, if you remove either python-xdg from the install, or deactivate
the Lubuntu kick
in with session for these two programs you will solve it.

(python-xdg has never been a must have with the openbox package, it's
optional, so if you
have it, programs whose desktop files are in /etc/xdg/autostart and or in
the user's
~/.config/autostart will be started, because this is inside one of the
openbox files, if
you don't know python-xdg and no other process launches them, you don't
have them
started at all in the session, which is a problem too). As I tell you, I
expect to get it
solved by the end of the year and to be able to bring a simple and elegant
lasting solution.

Best regards,
Mélodie

Hi Phill,

I could not figure out which package is the culprit, so I could not file a
bug. I hope Mélodie will tell us. If she wants to file the bug, fine!
Otherwise I can do it.

Best regards
Nio
