I am using Ubuntu and openbox. When I start up, I see the normal login screen like when using unity and it connects to Wifi. I have selected openbox from the dropdown list and it remembers this choice.
When I run xfce4-power-manager, nothing happens.
When I start xscreensaver-demo, I get a message that gnome screensaver daemon is already running.
There also appears to be a compositing program running.
I think the xfce4-power-manager issue is because something is already running to manage power from the Unity log in screen? I'm not sure how to verify this/change it?
Also, how can I stop the other default unity stuff starting up and ruining my system?
