xwmconfig and fluxbox.9.15.1


hi, just two things to get out of the way first.

1) i upgraded to fluxbox-9.15.1 from 9.13 (10.2 pack), but the menu under 'Fluxbox Menu > Configure' the 'antilaise' option seems to be missing? so now half the Systme styles look pretty awful! how do i get it back?

2) is it possible to use a single key key-binding, rather than 2? ie if you wanted to only use ctl to change to desktops?


ok main point, i upgarded fluxbox, and launched it no problem. i then used "xwmconfig" to change back to using kde. once i had finised what was doing in kde i then used "xwmconfig" to add fluxbox-9.15 again. but invoking 'startx' strangly it wouldnt load, just dumped me back the command line.
hmm odd.
so i checked xinitrc which was emtpy. that was the problem


i went over the steps i just did to see if it wasnt just me being stupid. same thing happened. i then checked it in a newly created acct. same thing, "xwmconfig" doesnt add anything to the xinitrc when you use 9.15.

not that its a big problem, but just interested if anyone had come across it?

did you try to do a full reboot after having the problem? I installed E17 and i need a full reboot and then all was well. Hope this helps. If not will kde still start up?

yeah kde, or any other window manager works fine, the xinitrc gets updated properly

Yes, this was changed in Fluxbox 0.9.14. See the Fluxbox changelog for more details here:
