I'm having a few problems i need help with.

First, I'm using fluxbox right now and when i login, the wallpaper i set flashes real quick then goes back to the default fluxbox color. I've tried setting "fbsetbg -f /path/wallpaper.jpg" in the startup file and that didnt work.

Second, I installed Aterm on both kde and fluxbox and it doesnt show up in any of the menu's. How do i start it up?

Third, I used Kwifi in kde for my wireless connection. Is there a way to use it in fluxbox or is there another program i can use?

I appreciate any help.

I haven't used Fluxbox but I know that in Ice Window Manager the software that puts the wallpaper image on the screen has to remain running in the background. Try this.
You can run Aterm by opening a terminal window and entering the command aterm on the command line.

You can also use Kwifi the same way.

Thanks, "fbsetbg -f /path/wallpaper.jpg &" worked.
When i type aterm or kwifi in a terminal it just says "command not found".

I should have checked to see what the binary names for each application is before I wrote. Just now I used the locate command to search the file system for the string "kwifi". Here is what it showed me.
The locate utility showed a bunch of other lines as well. It looks like the kwifi software is called kwifimanager. Try entering kwifimanager in a terminal window. If /opt/kde3/bin is not in your PATH then you will have to write the entire path as well as the program name.

I couldn't find aterm on my system. This is what I got when I used the locate utility to find "aterm".
There were more lines. I didn't put them in because they matched the characters "aterm" in the middle of other words. So it looks like I don't have aterm but there are signs that SuSE knows about it. It just wasn't installed.

That's how you can use the locate utility to find things. It only works if you have a cron job to run "updatedb" from time to time, such as once a day. Most distributions will probably set this up automatically when the system is installed. Slackware probably won't.

Ok, typing "kwifimanager" worked...thanks alot.

fbsetbg -l (lower case L) is the command to set the background to the last background image used.

This is preferable because it remembers the last one you used so you don't have to go in and edit the path and file name every time you decide to change your background image.

This is what came up when i searched for "Aterm"

Are you running Slackware by chance? And if so, did you install aterm via installpkg?

I personally had problems installing aterm as a .tgz file, but when I installed it from the source binaries it works just fine. Once you verify that the program is install by launching it from your native terminal, you can edit your ~/.fluxbox/menu file and add the line
where you want it for clicky-clicky access via the fluxbox menu.
