Hi,
I am having trouble with Fluxbox desktop icons.
I have the following system:
openSUSE 12.1
GNOME 3.2.1 (I don’t use this but I have it installed)
XFCE 4.8 (I use this)
Fluxbox 1.3.2 (I use this)
I installed fbdesk to get desktop icons. I configured the init file and and fbdesk icon file. The problem is that I am unable to see the desktop icons. Sometimes I see them but that happens randomly. It seems that that fbdesk is somehow being ignored. Also when I “Restart” fluxbox from the right-click menu, I lose the desktop background. The following are the details for fluxbox config:

# Change your keymap:

# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
#
# unclutter -idle 2 &
# wmnd &
# wmsmixer -w &
# idesk &
xscreensaver &
fbsetbg -c -r ~/wallpics/ &
#exec fbdesk -rc ~/.fluxbox/init &
#fbdesk -rc ~/.fluxbox/init &
fbdesk &
volumeicon &
osmo &
# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
exec fluxbox
# or if you want to keep a log:
# exec fluxbox -log "/home/jclawson/.fluxbox/log"
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
