Fedora 12 Fluxbox issue

Hi,

  I'm using Fedora 12, and the Fluxbox  1.1.1-5 that comes with it.

It's plain X, using Slim as a login manager, and launching fluxbox via
exec startfluxbox at the end of my .xinitrc . Running as a normal, 
non-root user.

Intermittently at startup, applications that are automatically started 
in the
.fluxbox/startup file are obscured by the grey fluxbox wallpaper 
background. Or at least I think that's what is obscuring them.

The bottom 3/4 of the screen is the same colour grey as the fluxbox 
background and clicking on the part of the apps that I can see does not 
result in them appearing over fluxbox.

Killing the apps, and restarting them DOES result in them appearing over 
fluxbox.

I've attached the xwininfo result from clicking on this grey area.

I've tried the two different approachs to launching fluxbox in the wiki 
startup page - ie launch fluxbox last, or launch fluxbox first then 
waitpid for it at the end of the script. Both produce the same result. 
Intermittently.

Any suggestions?

thanks for your help,

    Greg
