Openbox gray screen

["Omar Yasseen" <Omar dot Yasseen at igindex dot co dot uk>]

Hi All,
 
Problem: Opening CygwinX with Openbox and getting a window with gray
screen background. Like this: grayscreen.GIF
 
Part(1) My installation steps:
 
* Downloaded CygwinX setup.exe.
* Invoked exe and installed default packages.
* I then invoked the exe again and selected ALL modules under X11R
packages.
* I opened C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat and inserted REM in
front of all the %RUN% statements, this is comment them out.
* I then inserted two new statements at the end of the bat file like so:
        run XWin
        run openbox
* I invoke the bat file and get the gray screen attached.
* Please see Part(1) logs below.
 
Part(2) But the funny thing is:
* When I get the gray window and invoke the startxwin.bat again (whilst
the first X server is already running).
* I get an error message like this: cygwerror.GIF.
* When I ok and close the error box.
* The first window that was gray is now showing the Openbox GUI
correctly like this openbox.GIF
* Please see Part(2) logs below.
 
The question is why am I getting the gray screen?
 
Any help or tips will be appreciated thanks.
