X and Fluxbox :: starting fluxbox without icons on desktop



that doesnt work, sorry...
any other ideas?

(just to make it clear - i want the wharfs/tool-bar to the right but no icons on the desktop)

thanks so far
Use this for your .xinitrc (comment out the stuff already in there using '#'). I just tried this on my pc and it loaded just with the slit, no icons.

wmix &>/dev/null &
fluxter -w &>/dev/null &
wmcpuload &>/dev/null &
wmnet -w &>/dev/null &
mount.app &>/dev/null &
asmem -withdrawn -bg black -fg white &>/dev/null &
fluxbox 2>/dev/null

(Thanks to clacker who explained most of this to me)
im at work right now.
thanks alot for the reply, ill check it when i get back and report if this was
sucessful or not.

Here's another option..

If your filesystem is writable ..
Edit /usr/bin/enhance like this..

Seems strange to start xtdesk just to shut it down. :D
How about removing this part instead:
unless ( $vars =~/xtdesk/) {
system("xtdesk &>/dev/null &");
}
