FYI,
I like the "Run Program" addition to the Fluxbox window.
You no longer need to launch another xterm if you wish to start up an application.
However, I think that there is a better alternative to the 'fbrun' program to achieve this function.
If you install the 'grun' package from Debian stable sources.list, you will find a better run program that is actually SMALLER than fbrun and all dependencies are already satisfied by the default DSL installation.
GRun has two advantages:
(1) It has a drop-down list of the most recent commands that were 'run' in the past. So you do not need to type the command in. All you need to do is choose the past command from the list via the drop-down button.
(2) It has a "Browse" button that enables you to search for the location of your program file. By clicking on it in the browse menu, it assures that your spelling is correct and that the full path will be entered into the data entry box. This is important if the program is located in a directory that is not part of your defined PATH.
As usual, the unneeded doc files should probably be deleted to minimize the size of the installation.
Check it out.
