[GRASS-user] (Linux) WXGUI not launching command windows in Fluxbox

Huidae,
thank you for your interest. The GRASS was started using the grass72 
command installed in /usr/local/bin by the binary snapshot installer. I 
see it is not a missing service, since it runs fine in blackbox as 
opposed to fluxbox for me. Since the previous post I upgraded to latest 
GRASS binary snapshot and I did a quick test and renamed my .fluxbox 
folder, so that it started with default configuration of my Linux 
distribution. The problem persists, so it should not be my fluxbox user 
configuration. Perhaps there is something weird with the specific 
version or more probably the Debian 64-bit build used in the package or 
in the linked libraries? Not a question for this list, if so. It is nice 
to hear it is probably not a general problem of running GRASS in 
Fluxbox, though.

If you are further interested, you can look over the fluxbox 
configuration folder compressed here: 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z33yew7421af564/fluxbox.tgz?dl=0 (default 
configuration of my distro, recreated after renaming the customized 
one). And some details about the package and libraries:
