Same here.

My toolbar is set to be visible and I have no Fbpager.

I am guessing that the problem is with Fbpager.  Do you still have the prob=

if you remove Fbpager?

Something I noticed is that the toolbar  will not show if hidden, until I m=
ove=20
the cursor 1-2 inches or more from the right edge of the toolbar.  I have a=

clock on the right hand side and I need to come left well beyond it and int=
o=20
the application tabs area for the toolbar to show up.  In any other positio=
n=20
the cursor brings the toolbar up as expected.  Now, if your Fbpager is wher=
e=20
my clock happens to be (the right hand edge of the toolbar) then we have co=
me=20
across the same bug.  However, there is no flickering here.  The toolbar=20
either shows up, or it does not.  So the flickering could be related to the=

canvas of the Fbpager being refreshed.

PS. I only use Fluxbox as a fall back when Enlightenment does not work. =20
Perhaps you should give e19 a spin, now that it is in the main tree. =20
Configure your favourite apps to show up when you right click on the deskto=
p=20
and you should be pretty much at home with it.
