Toolbar incorrect rendering when composition enabled

[sillysloft]

Hi,

I am using Fluxbox 1.3.2 with true transparency enabled using xcompmgr rendering. Every time I connect to fluxbox, the toolbar is not well displayed. See http://i.imgur.com/u8Pdr.png for a screen caption. To counter this drawback, I have to move the toolbar on another location and then moving it back to its initial location. See http://i.imgur.com/8Q9FP.png for an example. You will notice that empty gap on the right of the icons in the notification area. I correct it by reconfiguring Fb.

how do you launch xcompmgr?

Here is my .fluxbox/startup file :

xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200 xrandr --output LVDS --off gtk-theme-switch2 MyInverted conky -c ~/.conkyrc3 & xfce4-power-manager & nm-applet & xfce4-power-manager & nitrogen --restore & xcompmgr -C & # Dockapps wmnd & wmhdplop & cputnik &

xscreensaver -nosplash & # And last but not least we start fluxbox. # Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.

exec /usr/bin/fluxbox

you are launching a lot of apps in parallel. all of which are fighting over with each other over attention of the xserver. regarding to your xcompmgr+fluxbox problem:

launch xcompmgr after fluxbox is running.

fluxbox & fbpid=$!

sleep 2 xcompmgr -C &

wait $fbpid

this will bring up fluxbox (and the toolbar) first. xcompmgr should then pick that up correctly.

Thak you Akir, the problem is solved. I had to apply your solution and remove the exec before /usr/bin/fluxbox before executing it. Here is my new .fluxbox/startup

export "PATH=$PATH:/home/ben/jdk1.6/bin" xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200 xrandr --output LVDS --off gtk-theme-switch2 MyInverted conky -c ~/.conkyrc3 & xfce4-power-manager & nm-applet & xfce4-power-manager & nitrogen --restore & #xcompmgr -C & # Dockapps in slit wmnd & wmhdplop & /home/ben/Applications/cputnik/src/cputnik & knotes & xfce4-volumed &

xscreensaver -nosplash & # And last but not least we start fluxbox. # Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.

/usr/bin/fluxbox & fbpid=$! sleep 2 xcompmgr -C & wait $fbpid
