Yes, well I usually don't start searching the FAQ from Google if I am browsing the homepage of the project :) > Or, in other words, what made you think that ~/.blackbox/Styles would be > the correct place?

Well, communication is sometimes a hard task to achieve. If one should be able to run xclock from .xsession, why not bsetbg? I think my logic was not that poor you made it to seem be... And that part of login problem is not yet solved: I do not know how to automatically start apps at RH8 after I login into X. Only place that works is /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Blackbox, but as that is shared by all users it is not very convient. But I guess this is not a Blackbox problem, but a RH problem. > In the process, you learned about styles and how they set the > background.

I can specify the menu I use in my .blackboxrc. That is good. IMHO it would still be most simplest if one could just specify the name of the background image in .blackboxrc.
