New Install Openbox Not Working (Post default autostart.sh?)

I just installed Crunchbang earlier today and when I tried to login, it gave me the error message: "~/.openbox/autostart.sh". I still had the config files from an old Openbox install, so copied them into ~/.openbox and got it booting into Openbox, but not with any shiny crunchbang stuff (like I had in the LiveCD). I installed it a couple of times and it kept doing this.

Could someone post the default autostart.sh (or one that hasnt been edited too much?).

Thanks alot

Thanks. I found all the stuff I needed on the LiveCD (its all under ~/.config) and copied it into my home partition, got it working fine now.
