I'm a Quake 3 Arena junkie. And I play starcraft a lot too. Uplink is really cool too.

I can see why he's doing it, I think he's just playing around with the possibilities, but your right. system resources go right out the window the second you start anything KDE or Gnome. Its all the services you inadvertantly start in the background calling up that simple little panel.

Aside from the that, I can tell you its very annoying to only have the panel on one desktop.

In fluxbox you have something called the slit. If you run a program with the -w switch, it will start up in a little box. you can't move the box, or put things on top of it. I run gkrellm in my slit. (i did that so I could see gkrellm on every desktop.)

Try this in a terminal, you'll see what I mean:

gkrellm -w

sweet. its so rare that I'm right!!! :D

did you do a ./configure first?

move to the /egoboo/code directory in a terminal and do

./configure

and then your

make 

makeinstall

That should clear you up.

I just downloaded it to see what you were talking about. the makefile is in the folder called /egoboo/code 8)

If you can get the gnome panel to run in the slit, you can add the option to the slits properties to always keep it on top. the same would be true for kde's panel or whatever you run in the slit.

I'm in the exact same place you are. fluxter is cool. but I cannot get fluxspace to install.

In the past I've been using idesk for icons and what not, but its not very powerful.

Antone else find the bliss of this app yet?forget urpmi, this is where its at.

you may be able to run it in the slit if you add the -w option to it.

Are multiple wallpapers possible in fluxbox? i.e. seperate wallpaper for each desktop.

wow...that sounds like windows almost.

I ended up using the little how-to that aru wrote. here's mine so far:

idesk > /dev/null &

Esetroot -s /stuff/PICS/DIGIMAGEZ/extraordinary.jpg &

gkrellm -w &

3ddeskd &

3desktop &

3desktop --aquire &

again..thanks for the links. haven't had a chance to check them, but I came up with another question:

How can I have gkrellm running on every desktop?

thanks for the info!

Ok, so I decided after seeing screenshots of highly configed fluxbox that it was a must have. I'm using idesktop so I can use icons on my desktop but I have a few other questions.

If anyone can help with any of these, it would be much appreciated.

how can I get gkrellm to display on every desktop?

how can I get gnome's afterstep clock running as a dock icon? or in the slit?

How do I get things to autostart when flux starts?

thanks in advance.

no prob!

you have mail.

from the sounds of your problem, I would be hard pressed to think its a virus. but then, who knows.

I want a sticker!!!

how can I capture streaming audio?

well, with only a week left for retaliation...the stakes will be higher. no starcraft for me this week...

just pure malice

you and that badday.exe...next time it goes on my box man...its war.

hmm...stupid question, but I don't know what I should do.

I'm trying to install the file "dcgui-0.2beta5-1" and I get this error message:

Installation failed:

       libGLcore.so.1 is needed by dcgui-0.2beta5-1

and the only packages I find with that file in it are driver files for Nvidia cards, and I do not have an Nvidia card. what shoud I do?

thanks for the heads up...I'm looking into it now!

I tried giFT, but have been unable to get it to work on my 9.0 system yet. I had it goin great in 8.2, but for some reason cannot get it to work in 9.0.
