Hi,

I've been using plain fluxbox, rather than any DE, for several years
now.  I use dunst for libnotify server BTW...

However now a days there's an application "hpmyroom" [1], based on QT
for linux, which dies any time there's an interactive popup.  For
example deleting a buddy will pop up a dialog to ask whether you want
to confirm or not.  Or when someone sends a buddy request, a dialog
pops up to confirm whether to accept it or not.

When using plain fluxbox, "hpmyroom" immediately dies with a
segmentation fault, when such popups are suppose to happen (nothing
pops up actually).

Other guys using same OS than I do (Arch) were not having problems,
but they were using DEs like XFCE, Gnome, KDE and others.

So I tried LXDE, but using fluxbox instead of openbox.  To my
surprise, that worked out.  Same fluxbox, just on top LXDE.

Problem is that I don't really want to be running a DE.

I was exploring what would LXDE be providing that I'm not using on
plain fluxbox with no DE, but couldn't find what it might be.

As mentioned, I was already using a libnotify server, dunst.  I
changed it for others like "xfce4-notifyd" and "notification-daemon",
which made no difference.  So I discarded a libnotify issue.

Then the other thing that came to mind, though more relunctantly was
graphics polkit.  So I called "lxpolkit" (part of lxsession from LXDE)
on the .xinitrc, prior to calling "startfluxbox", but that didn't help
either.  So, as I suspected initially, that didn't seem like it.

Arch handles dbus through xinit, when calling "startx" or using "xdm",
but then just in case I tried manually:

systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY
dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY

As expected, that didn't help a bit...

Anyone with some clues as to what I might be missing to keep using
plain fluxbox?
