xinitrc not running for fluxbox

[elderdays]

I can't get my ~/.xinitrc to run when I log into fluxbox. I'm running Slackware and boot into init 3, so I don't use gdm/kdm/xdm/etc.... I just do a startx and fluxbox starts up. At the bottom of my .xinitrc file I put exec wmxmms &at the end after the exec statement for fluxbox itself. Well, that's supposed to start wmxmms in the slit right? It just isn't getting started. Help please.

BTW I've also tried with/without the & and with/without the "exec" parts. Also, I've tried a ~/.xsession file but it didn't work either.

i think you need to put it before the exec fluxbox part, and without the 'exec':


/path/to/wmxmms &
exec fluxbox

Well, that makes no sense to me but it works. Thank you very much!

Well, that makes no sense to me but it works. Thank you very much!

actually it makes perfect sense, that's just how xinitrc works, here's mine. you'll notice all the apps I want running go all before your window manager of choice.

#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" &
