OK I was able to determine what the problem was. The path!

I should have relized that my entry in .xinitrc didn't work without the full path to fluxbox

exec /sw/bin/fluxbox (worked with xserver background screen)
exec fluxbox (never did work)

When I did get fluxbox to work I fired up xterm. Ran -

bsetroot -solid white (didn't work)
bsetroot-flux -solid white (it worked)

Created links for these that fluxbox was looking for -
ln /sw/bin/bsetroot-flux /usr/X11R6/bin/bsetroot
ln /sw/bin/bsetbg-flux /usr/X11R6/bin/bsetbg

Humm. Why would the fink source install create these unusuall names ?

It is apparent when Mac X11 is fired up it dosen't follow the paths set in /etc/bashrc or I suspect others.

Is there a way to set the path for Mac X11 ?
