I don't know if Openbox3 has it's own startup file, but you can certainly put entries in your .xinitrc, if you use startx or xinit to start xfree. If you use gdm/kdm/some other login manager, just add it to /etc/X11/Sessions/openbox (or whatever the openbox entry is called in there).

The syntax is standard shell scripting.

Your .xinitrc should start with any settings for X (xset etc), then your window manager, then any apps to be loaded, etc, then your hang point. You can mess around with the order a bit, but this is generally the best.
