 |
|
Hi,
I'm experimenting with fluxbox. It's very nice, but I have one problem: I've been really used to have desktop with icons, folders, files and drag'n drop. Is there any way to get one to work with fluxbox, without kde or gnome, or maybe just plain desktop from kde, or gnome, without anything else?

Yes, you can emerge rox.
[url]rox.sourceforge.net[/url]
Heres a screenshot from my Fluxbox with a rox panel, you could have icons too:

But I don't really need panels or icons, I mainly have rox installed for the filemanager (rox filer). |

I am sure there are other solutions to this, but the ones I know about are Rox filer and idesk. (using idesk myself, its new, it hardly has any features at all...yet  |

Openbox is quite similar to fluxbox and has support for the protocol that allows various desktops to run appropriately. KDE3 support is very good, and GNOME2 support apparently works, but I haven't tested it extensively.
Waimea is supposed to also have support for the EWMH protocol, but I haven't tried it either.
