Thanks I'll try this but I still have some questions... Which version should I get? The 0.9.12 version announced today? Or the SVN version? Will this use the settings in ~/.fluxbox? or the settings in /path/to/the/selfcompiled/fluxbox/? Or should I specify another dir with the -rc option? Am I wrong to assume settings such as session.screen0.workspaces: 6 will be ignored because of the "screen0"? Can I backup ~/.fluxbox while running fluxbox? Should I reload the config first?
