Thanks very much for the advice. I will followup with the results I get.
OK. I created the startfluxbox script, changing the path to fluxbox itself to fit
where the Fedora RPM puts it, and also adding /usr/share/fluxbox/startup
which wasn't there but which startfluxbox references. I put the "export LC_ALL=C"
in /usr/share/fluxbox/startup.
That done, and with a .xsession of
startfluxbox
I can run fluxbox fine by asking for a default session (it takes maybe five or six
seconds to start up). Asking for a fluxbox session explicitly bypasses startfluxbox,
I presume, and thus /usr/share/fluxbox/startup, and hence takes a long time
(I have yet to wait long enough to say how long it is). I'll experiment with the
fluxbox.desktop file, maybe making it
Exec=startfluxbox
to see whether that works.
