Hello,

I have Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS installed on a laptop.
I was able to reproduce the issue "desktop background does not refresh" on open box when all of the following conditions are met:
Condition1: The line "test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#303030" from "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openbox-autostart" is commented out.
Condition2: There is no background image set.

The issue was not present when any of the 2 conditions is invalidated.
To invalidate Condition2 I used feh to set a background image.
To invalidate Condition1 I uncommented the line test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#303030" from "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openbox-autostart"

Commenting or not the line "test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#303030" from "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openbox-autostart" did not affect in any way the ability of feh to set the desired background immage.
