I use fluxbox as my window manager on Fedora Core 1.

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?

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.
