    Guide to using Openbox session in Lubuntu

    One of the sessions available with Lubuntu 13.04 is "Openbox". Anyone know of a current guide/faq/tutorial for the one in bold?

    Code:
    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/openbox/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.
