I installed two X win managers, afterstep and blackbox..
Blackbox seems to be great but all icons just disappeared after i installed it, or maybe after afterstep was installed..

I also got xicewv or whatever the name is and some other manager too.. Not gnome and KDE tho
Are icons put in a special folder somewhere?
How do i get them back?

Im using slackware (vector)

there are not desktop icons in blackbox and afterstep

oh ok.. blackbox functions without them, no problem there...
but the icons also disappeared from icewm and cde but ill just use blackbox..
Another q; how do i add programs to blackbox's menu? Is it possible without bbconf, i coulndt get that one to install..

you need to edit the file
.blackbox/menu
in you home directory

if you want to add a program you need to add a line like this
[exec] (netscape) {netscape}

the syntax is
[exec] (program name) {command to run program}

most of the programs are in submenu's, they are written in this format

[submenu] (submenu name)
program commands in here as above
[end]

it will be easy to understand once you look at the file.

nb. info should be right but i use fluxbox, it is based on the blackbox code and virtually the same but with a few improvements. i reccommend you try it.

i don't think icewm or cde have desktop icons either
