However, when I deleted the added panel, it along with the default one vanished. But when I "exited" Openbox to a terminal and ran startx, Openbox along with the default panel came back. However, since I only run Openbox and not a desktop, to have lxpanel start when Openbox does, I must run 'lxpanel &' it in a file 'autostart' in .conf/openbox/ in my home directory. Maybe, you doing the same thing might be a fix for your problem. B
