patch -Np1 -i ../fluxbox-0.1.14-gcc33.patch &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-kde --enable-gnome &&
make &&
make install
--enable-kde: This command activates Fluxbox's ability to allow KDE tray icons to be placed in the slit.
--disable-nls: This command disables Fluxbox's ability to support international languages. This is an optional switch to work around a compile problem if you did not install all locales.
Be sure to backup your current .xinitrc before proceeding.
cat >> ~/.xinitrc << "EOF" exec fluxbox EOF
mkdir ~/.fluxbox &&
cp /usr/share/fluxbox/init ~/.fluxbox/init &&
