I've been using 'fluxbox' for about a month now and really like it, but
I do have some questions that I haven't been able to find answers for.

A - In the menu, how can I get working lines for logging off, I
currently use '[exec] (Log off) {exit}' but aren't satisfied with it,
and also for restarting fluxbox, currently '[restart] (Restart) {restart}' ?

  What exactly is wrong with those commands ?

They don't seem to work quickly, I'm looking for something which is speedy. 
 
B - Periodically, when logging back into fluxbox from another DE I get
this error message showing in the logs 'BScreen::BScreen: an error
occured while querying the X server.
another window manager already running on display:0
Error: Couldn't find screens to manage.
Make sure you don't have another window manager running.'
I'm not aware of another window manager still running, but how do I kill
it if it is please?


  To kill it you'll need its' PID - try ps -A in a terminal window.

But first I need to know what the programme name is, and there's the problem.  

Thanks
Sharon.
