in your openbox start up put the parts you want.
example:

panel = xfce4-panel &
desktop= xfdestop &

thats pretty much all you need from xfce4. i only use Thunar on my jwm setup.

wait, just remembered i use orage and squeeze to, orage i have set on my clock click, and squeeze through the thunar plugin. :)

Edit or create the file .config/openbox/autostart.sh
This where you add the programs you want openbox to start on login like the panel.

# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART

# Programs to launch at startup
thunar --daemon & (for handling removable media)
update-notifier &

# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
xfce4-panel &
pidgin &

according to the man pages it's> ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
so
press alt+f2 or in terminal
type> mousepad ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

from thunar, press ctrl+h , to see hidden folders/files
click> .config > openbox > autostart.sh

are you in openbox? (log out of xfce4, select openbox in the menu, log in)

compiz fusion is a window manager, openbox is a window manager
you can only have 1 window manager running.
