Ahem: runlevel 3 is non-graphical; runlevel 5 is X with dm [~]% chkconfig --list|grep dm dm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off What you say makes no sense at all. > > > > 2) the left flying carpet key is bound to F13.

I'm open to that possibility, I've just seen no examples. Yes it is hurting. The keys in runlevel three behave differently from the keys in runlevel 5 Can be fixed by uncommenting everything in /etc/X11/Xmodmap > > > > 3) .xsession and .xinitrc seem to be ignored.

You can consider this a bug, or just > take it to mean .xinitrc is depracated. Far from obvious. There should be an entry in /etc/X11/wmsession.d/16fluxbox called custom that would point to ~/.xinitrc So people can select that from the menu. And .desktop can point to that session entry as well.
