A little follow up on my last topic on here... Openbox + LXpanel behaving weird after recent updates. (Read 50 times)
This is still not fixed. Anyway, i noticed same problem in my bedroom media computer, but that one is on mate desktop. Lets say i want to start a browser or file manager or teminal, it waits for a bit and nothing starts. Log out and back in fixes it.
Today i swapped openbox-session into a new installed mate-session in my first system, and the problem is still there. Log out and back in fixes it too...
They both run without a window manager.
autologin of my user on terminal number one
/etc/conf.d/agetty.tty1
.bashrc
# Start x on login
if [[ -z $DISPLAY && ! -e /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ]]; then
exec startx
fi
.xinitrc
thanks...
RTFM:

This is still haunting two of my computers, i changed Openbox+LXpanel into mate-session on the oldest install, no luck. No idea how to fix it, maybe is time to reinstall it, maybe try to use some lightdm desktop manager stuff, no idea, tried digging thru dmesg, xorg logs but nothing oblivious there, at least for me....
