The first revision!

Kickbox is a simple, powerful hack of the fluxbox window
manager for Linux..  The idea is to rethink the menu 
to integrate KDE applications 
into fluxbox, and to better utilize the fluxbox
menu's potential to do things other than open up applications.
It turns out that Fluxbox and Konqueror are a match made in
desktop heaven.  Kickbox uses Konqueror  to navigate the system
to generate graphical menus, to mount storage media, and 
view documents.

KIckbox also adds built-in editing templates to the 
configuration files, and includes a variety of  shortcuts
to provide fast, easy access to those files for editing. 
Making fluxbox your own was never easier.

Finally, the most important part of this project may be
the documentation that is underway at:

CONTENTS:
What you have here is a set of elaborately rewritten
configuration files for Fluxbox, nothing more,
nothing less.  

Okay, that's not strictly true.  Also included are a
couple dozen backgrounds which are set up to open at
random each time Kickbox restarts.  I added several more
backgrounds to this edition, being less convinced that 
"yellow jacket" my original theme for kickbox 0.01, is not
as ugly as original sin.  I removed several of my original 
wallpapers, and added some others that appear to gpl'd,
including some default KDE wallpapers.  So my crazy
wallpapers won't come up so much.

In order for these to work effectively
on your system as written, the following must be installed:

Fluxbox
KDE 3
firefox
and you may need feh (an image viewer) in order for the
backgrounds to display to best effect (Alternately, you
may be able to use another image viewer, and fix the files
accordingly.)

The current version of these files has been tested on Ubuntu 8.04,
 and on Vector Linux SoHo 5.8, but I've been working on these files for about 
two to three years, and I've used earlier versions with Slackware,
 openSUSE, and Debian (stable and unstable).
