Simply using `exec startfluxbox` was enough to get me started. I'm currently trying a couple terminals. xterm is pretty basic, I tried eterm based on fluxbox's recommendation (but the package in gentoo doesn't have a maintainer...) and am compiling gnusteps-apps/terminal that was recommended as a decent terminal app. That one has a few dependencies, including clang, but we'll see how it performs. Fluxbox is so light that I'm considering using it on my mythtv frontends with a terminal that I haven't quite decided on yet as a backup in case I need to do troubleshooting. Dan Dan
