Yes, I've found lxpanel can crash sometimes (usually it's when I've
downloaded several things with Firefox). If you have lxpanel as the
last thing in ~/.xinitrc and it crashes then it will stop xorg and
you'll be back at the command prompt.

Yes, openbox-session is a shell script that runs autostart, openbox is
just a window manager, as far as I'm aware it doesn't run any other
scripts.

I think it's confusing to have scripts running scripts. In my opinion
it's clearer to just put all the commands into ~/.xinitrc so that's
what I've done on the Openbox page.
