the documentation was helpful enough to cover how to
remove the automated help-screen poping up with dillo.

how do i keep it so my desktop has no icons on it after i
restart fluxbox?

(for a temporary issue i just go to Desktop -> No Icons, but
i wasn it permenant)

thanks

remove the following lines from .xinitrc

Code Sample

if egrep -qv noicons /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null; then
enhance &>/dev/null &
fi

Hi there!

Just don't forget to make a backup after that otherwise the file will be restored as is.

Have fun,

well i've done that but it also removed those bars to the left of the screen (the mp3 player, virtual consoles, etc). i just want a desktop without icons, i still want those bars/wharfs...

how do i bring them back?

The menu option Desktop > No Icons runs the command
" killall -9 xtdesk "

Try placing that line in your /home/dsl/.xinitrc file,
right ABOVE the line that says " fluxbox "
