Hi, if you want anything to start automatically when blackbox starts add it to your .xinitrc file, which is in your home directory. I run bbkeys and gkrellm at start up too, so here's my ~/.xinitrc: === #!/bin/sh # $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $ userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap [... the usual stuff here...] ### The part you'll have to add: # programs to run: bbkeys -i & #xscreensaver -no-splash & gkrellm -w & #set wallpaper with the bsetbg shell script: bsetbg ~/mm/images/Logo1280.jpg & # Start the window manager: exec blackbox === The above runs bbkeys in iconified mode, with gkrellm docked in to the slit. Look at the bbkeys/gkrellm docs for different options. I also use bsetbg to set a background image. -- Mark Hill - http://www.fero.uklinux.net Blackbox FAQ: http://www.reedmedia.net/misc/blackbox/faq.html
