Bug#657483: fbsetbg: Annoying message on fluxbox startup when background image is disabled

This is a multi-part MIME message sent by reportbug.

Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.1.1+dfsg2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze patch

Background information: I use multiple window managers and switch
between them from time to time depending on the tasks to do. I use
a common background image (showing current statistics, set via cron)
in the X root window. Therefore, I disable setting background images
in all window managers.

The manpage of fluxstyle(1) says you should create a file named
'~/.fluxbox/overlay' containing 'background: none' to disable
background modification. I removed '~/.fluxbox/lastwallpaper', too,
else fbsetbg will still set a background image.

In this case, you'll get the message "Can't find wallpaper" on fluxbox
startup (fluxbox starts 'fbsetbg -z').


Known workaround:
Change the value of line matching 'session.screen*.rootCommand' to
'/bin/true' in the file '~/.fluxbox/init' -- this will prevent
fluxbox from running fbsetbg.


The appended patch will modify fbsetbg to exit without warning when
"-z" or "-Z" is used and no wallpaper is set.
