This statement means nothing to mean since I have no idea what machine you are refering to.

I want to get the desktop talking to the internet. What type of desktop is it? Is it talking happily to the openbsd box, how is the network for the desktop configured, manually or by DHCP?

You should not have to do any static routes on the desktop or laptop. You should not have any static routes to specific machines, they should be to subnets.
