After adding an lxpanel in addition to the default one I already had,
configured it, added applets, etc, rebooted, all worked fine.
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.
