I recently installed Slitaz Cooking to an old computer with low RAM (256MB) and It runs really smoothly, but every time I login, I have to right click on the desktop and start pcmanfm to get the desktop background and icons, and then I have to double-click on my lxpanel shortcut to start lxpanel. This is getting really annoying, but even when I added the appropriate entries to autostart.sh, it still doesn't do anything.
WHY IS IT NOT OBEYING?

Helps if you paste the entries you're trying to use otherwise it's like diagnosing a medical problem without actually seeing you in person and about as safe.

just a simple two commands:
pcmanfm & #some comments
lxpanel & #more comments

Try using this:
[c]# Start PCmanFM as daemon for Wallpaper and desktop icons.
pcmanfm -d &
# Start the Freedesktop panel standard menu.
lxpanel &[/c]
Note how pcmanfm is started in daemon-mode rather than just being run. Also I copied this out of SliTaz 3's autostart.sh file.

Well, I decided to just copy the entire default autostart.sh file (somehow I found it in the root account), but it didn't do a bit of good. I restarted X, clicked Reconfigure Openbox, rebooted, still no joy.
The problem here is that the autostart.sh file is never being run by the system. Why it is not run, I have no idea.

I think the simplest answer is that the Cooking version is just broken at the moment. I've tried to use it recently and it prompted me to look elsewhere for something better and up to date. After trying several other small distros, I'm back on SliTaz 3.
I recommend you try SliTaz 3 instead of cooking at this point or until they've fixed it enough to be of some use. Alternatively, you could try godane's fork that sits around 300MB or so and which has the latest packages and Linux Kernel @ http://godane.wordpress.com
