Re: How do I start an application after fluxbox starts?

that is .. not true. the difference between using a script mechanism like

  ~/.fluxbox/startup

(or ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc or whatever) and a mechanism like

  ~/.fluxbox/apps

is, that in the first case you start the apps ONCE per xsession while
in the second case the apps mentioned in

  ~/.fluxbox/apps

are started every time fluxbox is started. which means: click on
"restart" in the menu (for example to restart the session during a
fluxbox upgrade) and you will have all apps mentioned in the apps file
on your screen twice (except you have closed the ones brought up in
the first round :))

additionally you can bring up apps BEFORE and AFTER fluxbox has
launched with the script based solution while you can only launch apps
AFTER fluxbox came up with the apps file based solution.

so, there is really a difference and it is not about "cleaner".
