Openbox Configuration Manager

[pauldmallett]

FreeBSD, Openbox, LXDE not sure which Forum to ask but will try all three in order.
I would be grateful for advice or a steer in the right direction.
I have a running LXDE desktop on FreeBSD which seems fine however "/home/USER/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml"
file was created empty apparently without any obvious ill effects.
I populated the file with the contents of one from my Debian12 laptop which took effect on the desktop
however any attempt to configure openbox using "Openbox Configuration Manager" causes the Manager to
crash and the "lxde-rc.xml" file to be made empty again.
Installed the following on FreeBSD virtual machine running on Virtualbox:

Code: Select all

 pkg install xorg 
 pkg install lxde-meta 
 pkg install lightdm 
 pkg install lightdm-gtk-greeter 

CONFIGURE GUI STARTUP
ee /home/borg/.xinitrc

Code: Select all

 #EDIT ADD
#!/bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startlxde
#END SAVE EXIT 

ee /etc/rc.conf

Code: Select all

 #EDIT ADD
dbus_enable="YES"
lightdm_enable="YES"
#END SAVE EXIT 

ee /etc/fstab

Code: Select all

 #EDIT ADD OR CONFIRM PRESENT
proc    /proc   procfs  rw  0   0
#END SAVE EXIT 

VIRTUALBOX GUEST ADDITIONS INSTALL

Code: Select all

 pkg install -y virtualbox-ose-additions
sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES"
sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES"
reboot

Seems to me like a permission issue but I'm not sure where to look.
