Help setting bg


I'm using fluxbox window manager and i want it to set a bg automatically when I log on, I added session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -l to my .fluxbox/init file but that won't work because I already have it set at session.screen0.rootCommand: idesk and I want them both to start but I can only choose one to put there.

How about setting that in your theme's configuration file? Find that file and there could be a line in it already so you only have to change the location of the file.

You can just add a line under the RootCommand section if it's not there
Code:
RootCommand: fbsetbg -f /path/to/file

Use you apps file to define startup apps and use RootCommand to set your bg. Just add this to your ~/.fluxbox/apps files
Code:
[startup]                   {idesk}
