I was wondering what openbox was since compiz won't work on my computer. I installed it and everything, but when I select the option for GNOME/open box, I get a single window instead of the desktop. It says there was some kind of error, and showed the ~/.xsession-errors file. it some thing like
WARNING : unknown option --choose-session=openbox-session
I couldn't get the exact message because the xsession-errors file was overwritten when I restarted in metacity.
Just in case, here are the messages it gives right now.
