I did find out during my reading that openbox is basically unmaintained now. You should definitely mention that in the article up front. I don't think the Magazine should cover dead technology without warning users.

Hi William,
This was the exact problem I ran into, but it no longer seems to be a problem now. I tried on both F26 and F27 and now Openbox shows up for me on the GDM screen, *after* I kill GDM (or reboot). So you may want to advise about that, and then go ahead.
Don't advise switching from GDM to LightDM, doesn't appear necessary.

Hi Paul I have doble checked and the install instructions work fine but GDM in Fedora Workstation do not show the entry for openbox after the install, the Plasma sddm and light in the Mate spin show the option to login with openbox.
Do you think ins fine to provide the instruction to swich from GDM to LightDM in the post?

Hi William,
Are you able to work on that Openbox post over the weekend? We are hoping to publish it next week if you can help figure out the instructions to make it work properly on a fresh install.
