Hi,

I've just installed KDM and cannot get it to launch fluxbox correctly. It's obviously reading my ~/.fluxbox/init file (and thus, some part of fluxbox must be loading) because it launches my fluxbox start up scripts (fbsetbg, gaim, gkrellm, idesk, etc.) but it does not launch the actual Fluxbox window manager itself, so I get no window decorations, no taskbar, no desktop menu, no ability to move windows, etc.

Anyone know what's going on here? If I do startx from the console, fluxbox launches without any problems at all!

Cheers,
Martin

you need a
Code:

exec /usr/bin/fluxbox

last thing in your ~/.fluxbox/startup file. I found it most stable to launch any startup programs in there and dump ~/.xinitrc completely
