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asmem -withdrawn -bg black -fg white &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)

Here's another option..

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

Quote

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Author John Andrews
`killall -9 fluxter &>/dev/null`;
system("fluxter -w &");
my $vars = `ps ax &`;
unless ( $vars =~/xtdesk/) {
system("xtdesk &>/dev/null &");
}
`killall -9 xtdesk &>/dev/null`; <-- add this one line which kills the command
unless ( $vars =~/wmcpuload/) {
system("wmcpuload &>/dev/null &" )
}
unless ( $vars =~/wmnet/) {
system("wmnet -w &>/dev/null &" )
}
unless ( $vars =~/mount.app/) {
system("mount.app &>/dev/null &" )
}
unless ( $vars =~/asmem/) {
system("asmem -withdrawn -bg black -fg white &>/dev/null &" )
}
unless ( $vars =~/wmix/) {
system("wmix &>/dev/null &" )
}
exit;

Seems strange to start xtdesk just to shut it down.

How about removing this part instead:
unless ( $vars =~/xtdesk/) {
system("xtdesk &>/dev/null &");
}
