fluxbox styles use bsetroot instead of fbsetroot.

So if bsetroot is not installed, you got a black background instead of the expected one

fix with something like

find $startdir/usr/share/fluxbox/styles -type f -exec sed -i 's/ bsetroot / fbsetroot /'

check for bsetbg and fbsetbg too may be ?!
This task depends upon

finally, I found the problem ... and it is clearly an upstream issue:
http://fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php
quote: * Renamed bsetroot to fbsetroot
but they didn't change the command calls in the themes and elsewhere(I saw some things done in svn but I also saw the first upcoming errors: http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/fluxbox/trunk/data/styles/Artwiz?rev=4114&r1=2234&r2=4114 )
sometimes it's no fun to be the fluxbox maintainer :/
0.9.14 is severly broken and the only thing we can do is to bug the fluxbox developers.
on the Plusside of this - we might eventuall get rid of the fluxbox/ blackbox/ conflicts.

OK, problem killed with a sed line. Hope that will be corrected in svn soon, so that we get a working 0.9.15 package.
