message: :Fluxbox can be very slow on some Linux distributions such as RH 9 and Ubuntu. One possible reason is that the Xfree server cannot handle UTF-8 font request very well.
Is this outdated? I believe Ubuntu runs X.Org, and it runs Fluxbox fine. Twinxor t 02:57, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You're wrong though.  Fluxbox SPECIFICALLY had a bug in ALL previous versions(earlier than 0.9.14) where fluxbox would take up to an ENTIRE minute to startup if the system was set to use UTF-8(Most modern distros, including Ubuntu/Fedora/SuSe, or ANY non-western european distro that uses utf8).  It was fixed in 0.9.14 though.  The bug specifically caused long startup times, very slow operation, and cpu usage of 100%, and is 100% reproducable on any system running on utf8.  It was fast for you because you did not use utf8, but a standard locale. Liquidtenmillion 21:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fluxbox is an X window manager based on Blackbox 0.61.1. 

message: GTK+, Qt (toolkit), or wxWidgets? The Blackbox article doesn't say either.

thread_title:  which toolkit libs? 

message: What does this mean? I use Fluxbox, and I'm not sure what feature this refers to... A Google search for '+"Panel for window switching" fluxbox' points exclusively to this article (and copies of it). Is there a less confusing way to express this idea?

message: The fluxbox wiki entry states that 'everything that's run at startup is kept in the .fluxbox/init file.'
I do believe that everything that is ran on startup is in '.fluxbox/startup' NOT stored in '.fluxbox/init' as the latter is for settings.
I don't want to edit the article until I get confirmation that I'm correct.
The full paragraph is below:
'Customization is done by editing configuration files in the .fluxbox subdirectory in the user's home directory. Keyboard shortcuts are stored in the .fluxbox/keys file, menu layout is in the .fluxbox/menu file, and everything that's run at startup is kept in the .fluxbox/init file.
Each file has its own syntax so check the fluxbox documentation before editing any of the files in the .fluxbox directory.'
If I am right regarding the mix-up between init and startup, I'll also add that .init is for settings.

thread_title:  Mistake regarding startup? 

message: A list of distributions that have a special Fluxbox edition would be helpful.
And also a list of those that are capable of running Fluxbox, but do not have it preinstalled.
The LXDE page as a similar list of distributions.
