  Maybe you change the order?
  First openbox, then xterm?

That wouldn't work directly.  It looks like I should be using
openbox-session, and put the xterm in autostart.sh.  I'll try that.

  What happens if you change this to "yes"?

No change, but I did discover that the xterm does eventually appear on its
own, after a delay of about ten seconds.
