+With the upcoming deprecation of python2, I noticed some scripts are used by openbox and initrc to launch the environment.
+
+I wrote a simplified bash alternative by placing this in `~/.xinitrc`:
+
+	exec /usr/bin/openbox --startup "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME}/.config/openbox/launch"
+
+_The `launch` script replacement runs these:_
+
+	#!/bin/bash
+	A="/etc/xdg/openbox/environment"
+	test -r $A && . $A
+	A="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/openbox/environment"
+	test -r $A && . $A
+	find "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/autostart" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.desktop" -exec /bin/sh -c "desktop-file-validate $1 && dex $1" {} \;
+	find "/etc/xdg/autostart" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.desktop" -exec /bin/sh -c "desktop-file-validate $1 && dex $1" {} \;
+	sh "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/openbox/autostart" || sh "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/openbox/autostart.sh"
+
+_This requires the `dex` package to launch `.desktop` files from the command line._
