Hi,
I installed fluxbox via yum, and my installation was at version 0.1.14. I later found src rpms for fc2 at version 0.9.7-1. I rebuilt the rpms for i686 and installed the resulting rpms. When I log into fluxbox, however, the gui tells me I am still at 0.1.14, and it is so basic that I can't even figure out how to open up a terminal window. None of the mouse buttons seem to get me to such an option. When I look at the results of "fluxbox -version" it claims to be at 0.9.7-1. I even used rpm -e flux* to try and clear things out, then reinstall the 0.9.7-1 rpms for fluxbox and fluxconf. When using fluxbox, however, it still claims to be 0.1.14 (what's displayed on the desktop). I thought that it might be a conflict with yum, since I installed the earlier version with yum and later versions via src rpms. So I tried to get rid of the earlier version via "yum remove fluxbox", but it asks to get rid of 0.9.7-1, so even yum seems to think the later version is installed! Is it that the later version simply didn't update its visual display of version number? I tried to locate .xinitrc to see if fluxbox was being called from the right place, but couldn't find that file.
Any help is appreciated.
correction: the version is reported as 0.9.9
