Fluxbox Wallpaper Flicker

This is a reminder to myself… when setting the wallpaper on a Fluxbox managed Ubuntu system, I need to comment out (#) any line that sets the background to a solid color after my wallpaper line. I kept getting a wallpaper flicker (to black screen) at boot time after I added my image location line to the startup file (/home/ubuntu/.fluxbox/startup) like so:

fbsetbg -f /home/ubuntu/.fluxbox/backgrounds/debian1600.png

After examining my startup file again, I noticed that there was another command a few lines down from my wallpaper location that set the background color to black like so:

/usr/bin/fbsetroot -solid black

This black background line might have been inserted automagically when I tried to load the wallpaper without the proper program to do so. After the system alerted me to this error, I installed the Eterm package that was required and went about adjusting the startup file without really looking at it. It is now fixed and I have purdy wallpaper!
