Nice to see the fluxbox-dev mydsl extension in the normal mydsl area :;):

Just a quick question, if I install it and run it, will all my icons and other things like the slit be there or will the desktop need reconfiguring ???

BTW well done milkshaw

My experience is that your icons and such will be fine. If you made any changes in the init file, you will have to make the same changes in the init-dev? file. ( I can't remember the exact name).

The extension was made in such a way that it is almost totally removed from the included version....it uses a different init, keys, slitlist, groups, and even a different xinitrc.  It uses the same menu, for convenience and to work with mydsl, but otherwise it will not touch your current setup.
Since xtdesk is a separate application all your icons will be the same, and the new xinitrc is created from a copy of your existing xinitrc, so all your startup applications should be the same...dock apps might be loaded in a different order, though, since it uses a different slitlist.

Other settings, such as clock format, toolbar/slit visibility, style, etc (anything listed in ~/.fluxbox/init) will not be carried over from fluxbox stable.

If you're wondering why the init is not a copy like xinitrc, there are some changes to some settings in fluxbox dev which wouldn't work by just copying.  I'm considering putting together a fluxbox-0.9.10 (stable styles work properly with the newer release), so maybe I'll get something working where the original init is copied and edited to reflect the changes.
