Fluxbox has a problem with the locale-related environment variables on Fedora Core 1. Actually the problem is font-related. It's complicated... When you run fluxbox and just got a blue screen, if you wait a while (quite a while) it will ultimately start up. The solution is to set LC_ALL=C prior to starting up fluxbox.
Create a .xsession file with the following contents:
export LC_ALL=C startfluxbox
(make sure startfluxbox is in your path)
Hmmm. "rpm -ql fluxbox | grep startfluxbox" turns up nothing. "rpm -q fluxbox" says I have fluxbox-0.1.14-0.fdr.6.1. Do I have the correct RPM?
Ahh, sorry, I use fluxbox-0.9.6 which I compile from source. Fluxbox 0.1.14 doesn't have a startfluxbox script but 0.9.6 does. Also, the patches and FluxBluecurve theme are for 0.9.6
Sorry for the confusion.
