I've followed the instruction on Fluxbox.org but don't have the window manager up and running yet.

I'm running RH 8.0 and found lots of unanswered posts on their form about RH 8.0 problems

Anyone have it working?

My problem...
I have no .xsession in ~
I know I could create one but it doen't seem like I'd have to..

I have a graphical login that let's me choose Gnome or KDE why can't it show up there. I beleive it's GDM but I'm not sure.

To launch Fluxbox via GDM, create a "fluxbox" entry in /etc/gdm/Sessions/ with the contents:

exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/fluxbox

Then GDM should offer you Fluxbox as an option when next it loads.

Thanks Syntaxis,

I created the file "Fluxbox" in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/
with: exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox

then chmod +x Fluxbox

and the choice was available!!

Thanks again!!
