SOLVED: openbox/autostart missing & at the end of nitrogen line

I believe there should be an

&

at the end of the line

nitrogen --restore

in

~/.config/openbox/autostart

When did it go missing?

It seems to me that your post says the opposite of the title?

My bl-deuterium autostart has

## Set a wallpaper
nitrogen --restore

This is all that is required.

Ah, yes, sorry. I meant that I thought that there should be an & at the end of each command. I read it at the wiki page of openbox autostart.

Why is it not the case with the nitrogen command?

The autostart was cleaned up as part of the Deuterium point release:

As you can see, all unnecessary fork() calls were removed and there are no `sleep` commands needed any more 8)

I think the nitrogen --restore command exits almost immediately (nitrogen is not some sort of daemon).
You can put the '&' at the end, but afaiu this spawns another subshell, which is needless in this case.
it's better to wait til nitrogen has put the wallpaper, before e.g. starting conkys (or conkies?).
doing it without '&' eliminates the need to wait/sleep later.
