autostart rtorrent/screen in Openbox

[SnakeHips]

I have rtorrent running in 'screen' following this awesome guide.
http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/howto-use-rtorrent-like-a-pro/

Openbox is my stand-alone WM (cant see me going back to a DE for a long while :-)

I'm trying to launch 'screen' at startup (xstart) and have 'googled' and tried to work
some solutions but I cant get it to auto-start...

~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

# This shell script is run before Openbox launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Openbox session.

# run the system-wide support stuff
#. $GLOBALAUTOSTART

# programs to run 'before openbox' has started
eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` &

# programs that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 5 && conky) &
(sleep 10 && screen) & <<<<< dont work


~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
# exec ion
# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec gnome-session
# exec startfluxbox
# exec startxfce4
exec openbox-session
# exec startlxde
#exec (sleep 10 && screen) &
exec screen <<<< dont work


any help much appreciated...

Screen is a terminal program, so you have to run the terminal and have it open screen. For example, with xterm it would be:
(sleep 10 && xterm -e screen) &
