Hey, I've got two rather stupid questions, both somewhat concerning fluxbox. I'm using devilspie to get "true" transparency with URxvt. It's all working as I'd hope except that it doesn't take effect unless I open the terminal, switch workspaces, and switch back. The code I'm using is
(if
(matches (window_class) "URxvt")
(begin
(spawn_async (str "transset-df -i " (window_xid) " .82" ) )
)
)
Then I'm trying to get tint to work with fluxbox, which it does. The only problem is it only shows up on the workspace it is starting on which is rather annoying, even when I have it start at startup. Is it just not fluxbox friendly?

This may be a stupid question, but is there a reason you're not using the built-in true transparency of urxvt? I mean you obviously have compositing enabled if you are trying to run transset so urxvt should work fine in 32-bit mode with alpha transparency enabled.
As for the tint thing, I couldn't tell you as I've never used flux. I have used tint in Openbox however without any problems, so maybe flux has a special declaration for docks.

Anytime I try to get transparency with URxvt using .Xdefaults all it does is copy the image of the background. Because I'm in flux, all I can use is xcompmgr and I wasn't aware that could do such a task.

for me all i needed to do was add a line like this to .Xdefaults
urxvt.background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
also might need:
urxvt.depth: 32
