   Hello,
   it seems as if nothing I put in.config/openbox/autostart automatically starts. I need to have a browser window opened automatically after logon.

   First of all: is it autostart or autostart.sh?

   Btw I tried both versions, under .config/openbox, which I created, both with permissions 700.
   The test command is simple, just like:

   sleep 10 && leafpad &

   Nothing happens. Any hints?
   thank you

   thank, but it doesn't work.
   It is the latest RC2, fresh reinstalled it on a VM, just to be sure (and I tried also autostart.sh):

   tux@slitaz:~$ cd .config/openbox/
   tux@slitaz:~/.config/openbox$ ls -la
   total 3
   drwxr-xr-x 2 tux tux 1024 Sep 11 18:02 .
   drwxr-xr-x 9 tux users 1024 Sep 11 18:00 ..
   -rwxrwxrwx 1 tux users 22 Sep 11 17:58 autostart
   tux@slitaz:~/.config/openbox$ cat autostart
   sleep 20 && leafpad &
   tux@slitaz:~/.config/openbox$

   First of all Latest is rolling with updates, not RC2.

   Autostart script ~/.config/openbox/autostart requires creating ~/.config/openbox/ dir and works only in openbox-session. ~/.profile can be useful to add commands in it.
   lxde-session uses autostart from *.desktop files in directories:
   systemwide: /etc/xdg/autostart/
   user's: ~/.config/autostart/

   [Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=script
Exec=/path/filename

   Then check for it in lxsession-edit.

   In slitaz4: opening autostart-script without mkdir, old lxsession-edit (or something simalar) had 'add' button. For those who wants add-button it's possible to use /usr/bin/lxqt-config-session from lxqt-session package. I just built lxsession 0.4.9.2 (gee1.0=0.6.8) with its lxsession-edit - nothing new, except new bugs and +200K to stripped binary. Maybe it's a good idea to create default ~/.config/openbox/autostart with #solution.

   Thanks az_ua!
   That *.desktop thing worked out just fine

   I created a new file named tazweb.desktop under systemwide dir with the following content:

   [Desktop Entry]
   Type=Application
   Name=TazWeb
   Exec=tazweb --kiosk http://www.google.com
