fluxbox init gets corrupted

Hi,

I was trying to edit the keys, and it's not working
so I figure I have to restart fb everytime I make changes.
I just found out about fluxkeys, so I run it instead and edit keybinding from there,
made some changes click save, but after I restarted fluxbox, the main menu doesn't work no more. I can't even
select any window. Only the right click on the toolbar works but I can't select an item using mouse.
I uninstalled/reinstall fb and still the same, until I deleted the init on ~/.fluxbox.

It happens 3 times.
What could have been the cause? I suspect it's fluxkeys' fault, but I'm a noobie so it's just a guess.

btw, system setup is current.

The fluxkeys program is not one of the best ones developed out there and it seems to have a lot of problems. Your best bet would be to use your favorite text editor and manually edit the keys, menus and startup files for Fluxbox

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
