In one of my VirtualBox Gentoo installations, openbox-3.6.1-r7 executes (via `exec startx`) just fine, but it fails to honour anything in ~/.config/openbox/autostart. I'm able to manually call all of the tasks, so I don't think it's a problem with the configuration on that system. Dropping back to 3.6.1-r5 fixes the problem. If you need any further information, please let me know. Thank you for your time. Cheers, Nathan Zachary
Looking at the diff between the two ebuilds, I would imagine that this is the relevant change: >>>>> src_install() { - dodir /etc/X11/Sessions - echo "/usr/bin/openbox-session" > "${ED}/etc/X11/Sessions/${PN}" - fperms a+x /etc/X11/Sessions/${PN} + exeinto /etc/X11/Sessions + newexe - ${PN} <<-EOF + #!/bin/sh + ${PN} + EOF >>>>> The difference here is that the r5 ebuild results in: >>>>> $ cat /etc/X11/Sessions/openbox /usr/bin/openbox-session >>>>> whereas the r7 ebuild results in: >>>>> $ cat /etc/X11/Sessions/openbox #!/bin/sh openbox >>>>> The shebang line (from bug 911787) isn't the problem. Rather, it's that the new version is only calling `openbox` instead of `openbox-session`. I have tested the change, and it seems to fix the autostart problems.
Thanks, sorry.
No worries at all, Sam. Thank you for your help in getting the change pushed. Cheers, Nathan Zachary
