This is way to buggy though, so will look to have OpenBox running permanently in the background .... /me grumbles .. can't believe how impossible this seems to be.You made the wrong choice at start. Advanced Launcher start the desktop applications as you ask it. The problem is that your operating system cannot renderer the desktop application correctly. You could effectively try to use scripts/patches/mods to hope to reach a similar result, but nothing will be better than an operating system with a light dektop/windows manager.
Want to make a quick try. Install for example the Manjaro Openbox Edition on your system. Remove unecessary stuff (conky, tint2, put a black wallpaper). Setup slim to auto login at boot and finally tell openbox to autostart XBMC on launch. Then you will have a fast, light and fully fonctionnal HTPC system based on stabilized Archlinux rolling release.
