In any normal desktop, the job of the starter scripts is to setup the session by
calling dbus-launsh with appropriate arguments. However, openbox is quite
limited in this sense and does none of the above. That is why you need
dbus-launch in your .xinitrc. And that is also why the wiki is completely wrong.

Finally, why on earth did you pipe ck-list-sessions to ps??? I meant these as
separate commands. I just wanted to see whether you have dbus-launch running,
like this:

$ ps -e u | gr dbus
dbus 769 0.0 0.0 13124 1084 ? Ss 09:27 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system 

lisaev 26173 0.0 0.0 20000 584 pts/0 S 09:38 0:00 dbus-launch --sh-syntax
--exit-with-session

lisaev 26174 0.0 0.0 13264 1304 ? Ss 09:38 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
