"2.1.3. Running Fluxbox
It's all nice and good if you have it installed, but what use is it if you can't run it?
There are two generally different ways to start X11 (and thus Fluxbox). The traditional way is using the command startx. The other way is using a graphical login manager (also called "display manager"). The most common display manager is xdm which is part of the XFree86 distribution. The display manager provided by Gnome is called gdm, the one from KDE is kdm.
If X11 is started the former way (via startx), the file that is important is called .xinitrc and resides in your home directory. In the case of starting via a display manager, the file is .xsession which resides at the same location.
The next step is to find the executable for Fluxbox. For most people, this is /usr/local/bin/fluxbox. Now you need to edit (or create) the file I just mentioned. Just put the following line at the bottom of the file:
exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
Change the /usr/local/bin/fluxbox to where ever your Fluxbox executable is, the above is the default location when compiling from source. Once that is done, save it and close whatever editor you used to edit it. Now you need to run the following command if you use startx:
$ chmod 700 .xinitrc
In the case of .xsession that is not needed. In both cases, you should create the directory in which Fluxbox stores its configuration:
$ mkdir .fluxbox
If you don't create it, when you exit Fluxbox and restart, you will lose all your settings (the directory is not auto-created unfortunately)."

Dat lijkt mij gewoon een kwestie van je .xinitrc aanpassen, of zoals linuxgeek zegt, de docs van je wm lezen. Beide dingen waarvan we verwachten dat je ze zelf doet, daarom doe ik deze dicht.
