an update to the post:

Working with blackbox is a royal pain in the ***. I feel as if I am back in stone ages hacking stuff with my hand. I must say that this got to be the most minimalist window manager around.

Freud would have said that I am sublimating my latent masochistic tendencies thru blackbox :D

Does anyone know how to create a set of dektop icons with blackbox and make it startup automagically? Right now, I start WindowMaker and then start Blackbox by hand.

I get a feeling that this post is in the wrong forum.

No it's not. Install wm2 and come back to say what's the most minimalist one. :p

If you want Blackbox to start automatically when starting X with startx, add a line exec blackbox into your ~/.xinitrc file.

I'm not sure but I don't think you can have icons with Blackbox. You could, however, use KDE or Gnome with it so that you would get the icons. If you have KDE installed you could start kfm with Blackbox so that you get some icons. Edit .xinitrc so that there are the following lines:

kfm &
blackbox


That should do the trick and you get KDE's icons with Blackbox.

You can use Blackbox with GNOME, or start gmc when you startup blackbox.
