Re: Starting xscreensaver

startup is called when something like this:
   session.screen0.rootCommand:    source ~/.fluxbox/startup
is in your .fluxbox/init file.

To test if startup is being called, add something like the following to startup:
   echo "`date`: Startup is being called by $0" >> ~/startup.log

If startup IS being called, it should work.
You could also put xscreensaver in .xinitrc or .xsession.

Good luck.
