Adding fluxbox to 'xwmconfig' menu

cav · 04-13-2003, 03:22 PM

I just got fluxbox running, but it does not appear in the 'xwmconfig' menu that allows me to choose the default window manager. So, for the time being ive just been adding the line 'exec fluxbox' to .xinitrc manually. Can anyone tell me how to edit xwmconfig so that it includes fluxbox and automatically edits the .xinitrc file?

I'm not sure whether I understand your problem, but...

Maybe this thread is what you're after?

Cheers,
Tink

Problem solved! Not only did this line fix my fluxbox problem, but also about 18 other problems I was having. Simply Ingenious.

Seriously though I got it working. Thanks.
