In my ~/.fluxbox/startup file, I added:

# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.

exec /usr/bin/fluxbox
 fbpid=$!

  sleep 2
 {
   /usr/bin/bbpager -w &
 } &


 wait $fbpid

But that doesn't work. Should it be:

 {
   exec /usr/bin/bbpager -w &
 } &

instead?
