I use fbpager-0.1.4 together with fluxbox-0.9.14-r1 and after a restart/reload from the fluxbox menu, it doesn't show the open windows correctly. Some dissapear from fbpager or there are some, which are already closed. Everytime I reload/restart fluxbox from the menu or shortcut I have also to kill and restart fbpager.

I realised that the problem appears only, if I use fbpager _without_ the fluxbox slit.
All right, I am using now fbpager-0.1.4 in the slit (fluxbox). But I've discovered that it also doesn't work the right way. If i minimize/raise windows three or four times in a row, fbpager doesn't show the minimized/raised window. I have to redo this minimize/raise stuff so that it appears again. I'll attache 2 screenshots, so you understand what I mean.
Created attachment 87266 [details] screenshot fbpager (bottom/right) should actually show the firefox-window.
Created attachment 87267 [details] ...and so should it be.
It appears this problem is fixed in fluxbox-0.9.15.1, mind testing this out?
thx for response. I've tried fluxbox-0.9.15.1 out, but the problem is still there.
I remember experiencing this error in earlier versions of fluxbox, but cannot replicate it any more with fluxbox-1.0_rc3 Can you please verify that it is still broken?
yes, it's still there using fluxbox-1.0-rc3 with fbpager-0.1.4.
I just discovered that upstream knows about this bug. Their tracker reference: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1036628&group_id=35398&atid=413960
No response from upstream on their tracker yet, but I assume they'll fix it some day. When they do, I'll bump fbpager. in the mean time, there are other pages you may find useful. I personally use rox-base/pager which seems to work fine with fluxbox.
