This is normal.  (And the way I wanted it.)  I use Openbox only -- no DE
or login manager -- as part of a custom install of Wheezy.

You could try putting startx or starting openbox directly
in /etc/rc.local.


Or (better) in ~/.profile:

	#start an X session when logging in on the first virtual console
	if [ "$(tty)" = /dev/tty1 ] && [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
	        exec startx > ~/.xsession-errors 2>&1
	fi
