Veeeeeery noob-like questions about fluxbox
Hi all, i sat up today my first-ever flux and i have 2 questions:
1) how do i setup shell transparency? i have xbcompmgr launching before flux into .xinitrc, but urxvt still has black background (when i use awesome/wmii wms it works)
2) i have dual head set up with xrandr (LVDS1 1366X768 and VGA1 1024X768) and sometimes when i fullscreen windows, they exceed boundaries or don't show titlebar (so i cannot move them around, which apparently fixes all) any help here?
and if you have any suggestions on what i can use (actually i just tryed batterymon and i like it) to improve my flux, everything is welcome 
thanks all!

Re: Veeeeeery noob-like questions about fluxbox
1) Do you use the startup file, is in $HOME/.fluxbox/startup?

Re: Veeeeeery noob-like questions about fluxbox
Sure!
#!/bin/bash
#
# fluxbox startup-script:
#
# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
# Change your keymap:
xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN & AT THE END.
#
# unclutter -idle 2 &
# wmnd &
# wmsmixer -w &
# idesk &
# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with exec before it.
xcompmgr &
batterymon &
fbsetbg -l &
exec fluxbox
# or if you want to keep a log:
# exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"Offline
