Subject: [DNG] Installation of Fluxbox
On a new installation of the Daedalus, in order to start the fluxbox
window manager I must do:

        $ startx fluxbox


I set Fluxbox to be default window manager with

    #  update-alternatives --config x-window-manager


I create a file .xinitrc that has the line exec fluxbox or I create a
file .xsession with the same line. I try exec startflux as well. These
have no effect.

While I can customize fluxbox sucessfully, such as changing workspaces,
it fails to read its startup and keys files

If I run $ startx by itself, I ether get the blue desktop of the
refracta installer or X does not start and I get the error in
Xorg0.log:

    [libseat/backend/logind.c:184] Could not stat fd 21919>
    seatd_libseat close failed
