Based on your code example, this would go into $HOME/.fluxbox/startup -- >> where the last line is: >> exec /path/to/fluxbox So to your question, "into which file should I be inserting statements ... ?" the answer is $HOME/.fluxbox/startup The Fluxbox wiki topic is referring to this .fluxbox/startup file. http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_startup_file exec fluxbox & fbpid=$! sleep 1 { xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black & ipager & gkrellm2 & } & wait $fbpid --- Does that make sense?
