Hi Debianers' My configuration is kdm+fluxbox in utf-8 environment on Sarge.
I have already known that fluxbox's slow start is due to its incompatibility with utf8 environment. And the easiest solution I can see is to export a temporary locale to fluxbox when it starts and the restore a the default locale. The question is how to do this when I am using kdm to manage graphic login? Another problem is fluxbox refuses to source .fluxbox/startup file when loading. I don't know what's wrong. Here is a copy of my startup file: ---------------- # Programs which need to run constantly, as opposed to a one time execution, # need "&" at the end of the command. # Show the Fluxbox splash-screen #fbsetbg -C /usr/share/fluxbox/splash.jpg # This sets a background. You must have a program setup to do this # (x11-terms/eterm is recommended) bsetbg -f Blueworld.jpg # Custom fonts directory #xset +fp PATH_TO_FONT_DIRECTORY # Starts the icons program idesk & # Launches the Torsmo system monitor torsmo & scim -d & # This MUST be the last command! exec /usr/bin/fluxbox -log ~/.fluxbox/log ---------------- Is this startup file correct? Do I need to add #!/bin/bash or something on top? regards, bxuef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
