fluxbox and vnc


Hello,

I am wanting to use fluxbox as my wm over a vnc connection(if there is a difference). It is installed.
whereis fluxbox
fluxbox: /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox /usr/X11R6/man/man1/fluxbox.1.gz /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox

I have used both just exec fluxbox and full path.
ee .xinitrc
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox

Everytime I connect I get twm as my wm. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

vnc doesn't use xinitrc, it uses ~/.vnc/xstartup with the same format

So there is a difference, many thanks. :] If I would have paid attention I would have seen that, nice .vnc folder sitting right above my .xinitrc file.
