XCalc starts-up immediately (terminal gives no comment).
But what exactly is the cause of the problem, if it is a problem?

I can confirm the slow start, and the LC_ALL=C fix it

Fluxbox 0.9.6 is slow...

Add the following line to your .xinitrc before you exec fluxbox:

Code: Select all

export LC_ALL=C
