I really don't have much time to debug tthis, but you could start [as suggested] by putting the 'set -x' at the top of your script and see what gets executed and how things get 'compared'.

Good luck.

openbox

OPENBOX(1)						      General Commands Manual							OPENBOX(1)

NAME

       openbox -- A minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.

SYNOPSIS

       openbox	[--help]   [--version]	 [--replace]   [--reconfigure]	 [--restart]   [--config-file  FILE]   [--sm-disable]  [--sync]  [--debug]
       [--debug-focus]	[--debug-xinerama]

DESCRIPTION

       Openbox is minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.

       You can start Openbox in three ways:

       If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries in the login session type menu for  Openbox:  GNOME/Openbox,  KDE/Openbox
       and  Openbox.  If  you  want to use Openbox within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will launch GNOME or KDE with
       Openbox as the window manager.

       The third option at log in, which is Openbox	  without a session manager, uses the openbox-session	    command to start  Openbox.	On
       log  in,  openbox  will	run  the  ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh  script  if it exists, and will run the system-wide script /etc/xdg/open-
       box/autostart.sh otherwise. You may place anything you want to run automatically in those files, for example:

	      xsetroot -solid grey &
	      gnome-settings-daemon &

       Make sure that each line is followed by a "&" or else the script will stop there and further commands will not be executed. You can use the
       /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh file as an example for creating your own.

       The default /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh runs a number of things with Openbox.

       Lastly,	if you use startx to launch your X session, you can set up a ~/.xinitrc file to run openbox-session and follow the same directions
       as above regarding the autostart.sh file.

       You can use the obconf tool to configure Openbox easily with a graphical interface, however more  in-depth  configuration  is  possible	by
       editing the configuration files by hand.

       The  default  configuration  and menu files are installed in /etc/xdg/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in ~/.config/openbox/.
       You can copy the default configuration and menus to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking.

OPTIONS

       These are the possible options that openbox accepts:

       --help	 Show a summary of the options available.

       --version Show the version of the program.

       --replace Replace the currently running window manager.

       --reconfigure
		 If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to reload its configuration.

       --restart If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to restart. This is useful if you have upgraded Openbox and don't  want	to
		 restart X.

       --config-file FILE
		 Use FILE for configuration instead of looking for rc.xml in the XDG search path. FILE is an absolute path.

       --sm-disable
		 Do not connect to the session manager.

       --sync	 Run in synchronous mode (for debugging).

       --debug	 Display debugging output.

       --debug-focus
		 Display debugging output for focus handling.

       --debug-xinerama
		 Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if xinerama is not already enabled. This is for debugging xinerama support.

       obconf (1), openbox-session(1), openbox-gnome-session(1), openbox-kde-session(1).

       The program's full documentation is available on the website: http://openbox.org/
