as far as I know, the wallpaper script rewrites .fluxbox/init whenever you apply an image change. This would be the first place to look. I haven't tested it, but i'll bet running that application as root, even once, would cause the temp file it uses to be owned by root, and therefore not useable by dsl afterward. Having no temp file would mean it may overwrite init with nothingness.

Do you mean if I just open the control panel as root it does this? Or do you mean if I run the wall paper changing script as root? Because I know for a fact that I did not change wall paper in the root account, but that is not to say that I did not open the wallpaper changing controls at some point as root.

No idea, but, without even having to use root, mine was broken on DSL 1.5. This seems to occur anytime after internal fluxbox changes have been made, and forever thereafter (in my case, after I adjusted window title alpha, resized the panel, and moved the layer of the slit.)

System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.
