Re: [SOLVED] BScreen::BScreen: error, unable to use fluxbox.

still strange. Mine is owned by root too, but has read permissions to everyone (444). Have you looked at the date stamp? (should be from the last boot, at least thats the case on my PC).
And have a look what permissions it has after next reboot.
