33--------
34The default *\~/.fluxbox/startup* is as follows:
35....
36#!/bin/sh
37#
38# fluxbox startup-script:
39#
40# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
41
42# Change your keymap:
43xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
44
45# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
46# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
47#
48# unclutter -idle 2 &
49# wmnd &
50# wmsmixer -w &
51# idesk &
52
53# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
54# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
55
56exec fluxbox
57# or if you want to keep a log:
58# exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"
59....
60
61If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the *exec
62fluxbox* line above to something like this:
63....
64exec fluxbox &
65fbpid=$!
66
67sleep 1
68{
69 xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black &
70 ipager &
71 gkrellm2 &
72} &
73
74wait $fbpid
75....
76So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after
77giving fluxbox 1 second to startup.

79For more details on what else you can do in this script, see *sh(1p)*, or the
80documentation for your shell.
