If you are using something such as fluxbox (which is blackbox with some minor 
changes for embedded key bindings etc. BTW).

-- download the tarball from the fluxbox website.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tar -zxvf fluxbox-0.1.14.tar.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cd fluxbox-0.1.14
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ./configure
[EMAIL PROTECTED] make
[EMAIL PROTECTED] su

-- type your root password

[EMAIL PROTECTED] make install
[EMAIL PROTECTED] exit

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] vim .xinitrc

-- comment out (not remove) anything you have in there and simply put 

fluxbox

restart the computer and log in using the same method.
