-=====Starting fluxbox=====
-There are two ways to start X. Running ''startx'' from a console (ie textual) login or from a graphical display manager (DM) such as ''gdm, xdm, kdm, lxdm, xfdm'' etc etc.
-I like to add a ''.xsession'' session to my DM configuration by dropping [[fluxboxtiling:xsession.desktop]] into ''/usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop'' which starts ''$HOME/.xsession''
-My [[fluxboxtiling:.xsession]] file starts up a number of things that the default 'fluxbox' startup omits such as D-Bus, ssh-agent etc etc.
-**startx**(1) will normally execute a script called ''$HOME/.xinitrc'' and I find it convenient to have my [[fluxboxtiling:.xinitrc]] script just call my ''.xsession'' script.
-When fluxbox starts up it executes ''.fluxbox/startup'' which I like to customise so that it's the same on all my machines but which adapts to each machine dynamically. Mine is here: [[fluxboxtiling:startup]]
