Thanks for your investigation. Other instances of this bug look in fact like #430630 which is being fixed. That doesn't make your report less valid, but I'm relieved that it doesn't happen so often. The session containing twice the same application is, in fact, broken. The session manager has no way to know that an application will shut down if launched twice; it is just as if you put /bin/false in a session. Gnome-session 2.12 and earlier would have shown the same behavior as 2.18.2. The reason why it works with gnome-session 2.14 to 2.18.0 is that these versions wrongly remove duplicate clients from the session; this causes trouble with some applications, see #423961. My fear is that such session files are valid with the etch version, and that some users could face failures when upgrading to lenny, just like you. If we can circumvent the issue to openbox, that would help. Which is why, it would be nice if you could make some tests with the stable and sid versions of openbox and gnome-session, to know in what exact circumstances two openboxes appear in the session.
