Just (seriously) trying Fluxbox for the first time and I'm having trouble getting my background to automatically set. I have
fbsetbg -f /my/bg/image.png
in ~/.fluxbox/startup and when I start fluxbox I see said wallpaper flicker on screen for a nano second before flux goes to the theme's default grey background. If I enter the command manually after fluxbox has started the wallpaper stays.
Any ideas what might be wrong? (I'm using feh, btw.)

The default theme appears to define its own background which is over-riding the one you are setting since fbsetbg is being executed before fluxbox has started. if you chage the entry to something like
( sleep 2 && fbsetbg -f /my/bg/image.png ) &
that should delay the execution of fbsetbg until after fluxbox is running and you should see your desired background.

That's what I suspected was the problem. Thanks, that solves the issue.
