I want to set the default cheatcodes to boot at runlevel 3 and then set fluxbox to automatically startup with a script that runs at the end of the runlevel 3 init and startx's as knoppix to launch fluxbox. I know how to do that much.

I'd also like to launch some programs when fluxbox starts, and I was under the impression I could just add startup commands for them in /etc/skel/.xinitrc after the line which starts fluxbox.

However pogo does not want to run like this. Anyone know how I can start it automatically with fluxbox?
