  • Should the mentions of other applications like xchat be put as internel wiki links? (xchat for example.)
I vote for [[gentoo-portage:xchat|xchat]]   --Gherald
  • Anyone know of a way to tell a given application instance to start in a specific workspace #? 
[16:36][pts/0][joe@Athena ~] % cat .fluxbox/apps
[app] (Gecko)
  [Workspace]   {1}
  [Dimensions]  {1277 1006}
[end]
[app] (gaim)
  [Workspace]   {0}
[end]
[app] (xchat-2)
  [Workspace]   {0}
[end]

Eaisest thing is to just put it to another workspace and right-click the window, then goto Remember...->Workspace

[edit] fluxconf?

Any special reason why fluxconf - and specifically fluxmenu - is not mentioned in this howto? Frodo

I don't like the fact that when I use desktop mousewheel switching, it does the opposite of what I want. I want fluxbox to switch to the next workspace when I scroll down, is there a way to fix that? And I don't want to change the desktop names and change my keybindings so "I won't notice".

[edit] misspelled?

transparant, should be changed to transparent, i think

[edit] Some more hint should go how to use composite keys

Mod4 - WinKey/MacKey Left/Right: CrsrLeft and Right

More composite Keys example

Control Mod1 Left :PrevWorkspace #Switch one Left with CrsrLeft

Mod4 q :RootMenu #With Mod4+q the right-click menu pops up.

[edit] bad info

i have found a few errors on this page.
in the section 2 Installation and setup, says '"Starting up other applications when you log in to fluxbox is handled by the .fluxbox/apps file which we will get to later in this document."'
the apps file servers another purpose, the startup file is used for that, later on the page, the name of the file is correctly used, so i assume a simple error on the first appearance.

session.screen0.rootCommand has been deprecated, in favor of the background.pixmap option in the overlay file

sorry if i do not make myself the changes, but my English is not good enough. in any cause, you can get more accurate info on #fluxbox channel in the frenode irc network
