In Rox-Foxbox combination every time I log in I keep having to go to Desktop -> Settings -> RoxPinboard on/off to turn it on. In fact, it seems to be"on" at first, but not showing, since I have to toggle the"switch" twice!
Anybody know what happened? It seemed to start after I tried a few WM options other than the default Rox-Fluxbox combo.
Thanks, Nick

Check that ~/.fluxbox/startup file has uncommented the rox pinboard option.

Thanks anti, that was it.
I am curious why the line looked like this:
#rox --pinboard=antiX-fb #rox --pinboard=antiX-fb #rox --pinboard=antiX-fb rox --pinboard=antiX-fb &
It looks like some not very good program was trying to edit that line and got it pretty messed up (For a time I was switching Window Managers a lot from the login screen, and that was when this non-sticking-of-pinboard bug krept in). I certainly never touched it myself until you suggested where to even look.
I have now cleaned it up to read simply:
rox --pinboard=antiX-fb &
Which appears to work, and is clearer.
