This is using gdm and choosing "Xsession" as my session. Sorry, I should have
mentioned that originally.

Version of fluxbox is 0.1.14-r2. I notice there are several newer versions,
but they must be masked out. When I do "emerge -p fluxbox" I get
[ebuild R ] x11-wm/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2
My .xsession file contains:
#!/bin/sh
#load this to have gtk2 apps look ok
GSDPID=`pidof gnome-settings-daemon`
if [ "x$GSDPID" == "x" ]; then
/usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon &
fi
APPSRUNNING=`pidof pclock`
if [ "x$APPSRUNNING" == "x" ]; then
pclock &
fi
The "APPSRUNNING" hack was to keep fluxbox from loading multiple copies of
pclock and the other applets in the slit if I reloaded fluxbox from the menu.
Fluxbox is not in the file because it starts whether I have it in .xsession
or not, and having it in two places just seems to be complicating things.

The rootCommands are unchanged from when I emerged fluxbox, and they work
from the command line. I don't know if I've tried every single style on the
menu, but the ones I've tried all exhibit this behavior.
This is why it's so frustrating. It worked originally, and everything I've
read indicates that it should work now -- but it doesn't. :/

Oh probably, but I posted here in case it is a gentoo issue -- and because I
subscribe to this list, but not (at present) to fluxbox-users.
Thanks again!
