The apps file is cleaner for starting apps after fluxbox, in my
opinion.  (Note that the apps file [startup] feature was added in
fluxbox 0.9.4.)

I was answering Jeff's question specifically with regards to the "exec
fluxbox" statement.

The easiest solution for bbpager could be to add to the apps file:
[startup] {bbpager}

Does that work for you, Jeff?
