Hi,
This system has two screens.
https://wiki.debian.org/Openbox#Files lists ~/.config/openbox/autostart.
Autostarting works except that I haven't found a way to configure the
location or screen where a new window opens. How is that done?
$ man 7 X

GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS
One of the advantages of using window systems instead of hardwired
terminals is that applications don't have to be restricted to a
particular size or location on the screen. Although the layout of
windows on a display is controlled by the window manager that the
user is running (described below), most X programs accept a command
line argument of the form -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF (where
WIDTH, HEIGHT, XOFF, and YOFF are numbers) for specifying a
preferred size and location for this application's main window.

This is functionality I have not used in several years, so I'm not
sure how accurate is the proposition "most X programs accept ..."
But it is the first thing I think of, when I read your question.
