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?

http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/fluxbox/startfluxbox.html shows what
appears to be the contents of startfluxbox, and that matches what's in
/usr/X11R6/bin/startfluxbox on the computer I have running Mandrake, so I'll
create that in that place and see how far I can get.

Thanks very much for the advice. I will followup with the results I get.
