Openbox session issues in Lubuntu 14.04

[vasa1]

I was quite happy logging into "Openbox" instead of Lubuntu when on 13.10. But now, in 14.04, I finding something odd.

Although everything works "normally", my ~/.xsession-errors picks up quite a few errors. If I run the default Lubuntu session, the only entry I see is:

Script for ibus started at run_im.

and ~/.xsession-errors.old has

Script for ibus started at run_im.
init: lxsession main process (3519) terminated with status 1
init: Disconnected from notified D-Bus bus

In an Openbox session most programs I run seem to be adding entries to ~/.xsession-errors even though the programs seem to function just fine.

Can some kind soul with Lubuntu 14.04 please run an Openbox session for a while and see if ~/.xsession-errors gets more entries relative to the Lubuntu session?

@vasa : I'll look into it tonight. I have no pure openbox session here as far as I can tell, will set up one. I've wanted to try that out in a while.
To note, I have to exit ibus in lubuntu 14.04 for Chromium to work.

Thank you I'll look forward to your findings.

Yes, turning off ibus is needed to enter text in Chromium:

But Chrome 34 doesn't have the problem.

I had bookmarked this thread. Any other link that I may need ?

Sorry to bump, I could not resist and had a look. I can indeed choose the openbox session when I log in. Will need further investigations as I am stuck with a querty keyboard when I'm using azerty here. Will try the language settings from the LightDM screen, but I do want my system in English with a French keyboard. Need to go to work for now

That thread has other links scattered about and also points to stinkeye's help in sorting out Openbox's right-click menu.

Many of the errors/warnings/messages have this format:

(program_name:PID): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID nnn was not found when attempting to remove it

and this seems to be some sort of upstream GNOME issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...r/+bug/1264368

I don't know why these aren't seen in a Lubuntu session if they are of a general nature.

Logged in from openbox. Not easy with the wrong keyboard setting, in particular for the password
My current file :

cat .xsession-errors
Script for ibus started at run_im.
Unable to create /home/bapoumba/.dbus/session-bus

nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

I suppose the nm-applet error comes from me auto-starting it in lubuntu.

Edit : I could sort out the keyboard layout "detail", ouf

Did you get any error associated with PCManFM?
I get

** (pcmanfm:6198): WARNING **: modules directory is not accessible

only in the Openbox session.

Yes, still logged in the Openbox session :

I'm using it from the lxpanel.

Looks there is a fix from 4 days ago.
