Make sure to back up your current init file just in case. Type this in a terminal as user to do just that.
cp ~/.fluxbox/init ~/.fluxbox/init.bak
The other way to back it up is to navigate to ~/.fluxbox, right click on ~/.fluxbox/init, copy and paste anywhere in the ~/.fluxbox folder, find ‘copy of init’ and rename to init.bak
Enjoy;)
