~/.Xresources does not work here (Stretch); ~/.Xdefaults does. I've never quite found out what conditions cause either of them to work. This is my situation: To start my openbox WM, from the console I type: $ ob That starts /usr/local/bin/ob, containing: #! /bin/sh startx /usr/local/ob-session -- /usr/local/ob-session contains a bunch of applications I want to run with openbox, then starts openbox itself: #! /bin/sh /usr/bin/unclutter -idle 2 & /usr/bin/xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap & /usr/bin/xset -dpms & /usr/bin/xset s off & /usr/bin/xbindkeys & /usr/bin/xsetroot -solid rgb:64/80/84 exec /usr/bin/openbox
