btw? I just noticed, my sound is always starting up "muted". is there a fix?
thanks
Yes, install alsa-utils and configure your sound.

PS: if you install volumeicon, uncomment it's line in .config/openbox/autostart.sh, reload the session, then you will have volumeicon instead of the lxpanel plugin. Then, if you install gnome-alsamixer, you can change the command which is in the preferences of Volumeicon : the default is «xterm -e 'alsamixer'», you can replace it with just «gnome-alsamixer», it will start... gnome-alsamixer instead of alsamixer in a console.
