I have openbox configured but I'm not sure that is used.

The file is ~/.config/lxqt/session.conf with contents:

[General]
__userfile__=true
compositor=/opt/kf6/bin/kwin_wayland
window_manager=/usr/bin/openbox

=======

We may need to add kwin_wayland to the KDE packages at the start of the lxqt
chapter.  The problem with that is Arch shows 66 dependencies:
https://archlinux.org/packages/kde-unstable/x86_64/kwin/

A list of window managers is at /usr/share/lxqt/waylandwindowmanagers.conf

There seems to be confusion in names.  ~/.config/lxqt/session.conf says
compositor but /usr/share/lxqt/waylandwindowmanagers.conf says [KnownManagers]
