So, firstly how do I run it without having terminal open all the time and how do I automatically run it - I read something about autostart.sh.
Keep reading and you'll eventually find that you can create a file under:
~/.config/openbox/
called autostart.sh
which openbox will execute when you log in. Put your call to xcompmgr in this file and append an '&' to it, e.g.:
xcompmgr -c &
This ensures that it gets sent to the background after starting.
It's probably necessary that autostart.sh is executable.
$ ls -lh ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
will tell you whether it is or not.
$ chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
will make it executable.
You may also consider using ~/.xsession rather than ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh.
