Description

On a RPi 2B+ the xterm does not overlay the launcher on an HDMI monitor. It just gets opened, on top of the stack, in the upper left corner and the launcher still has keyboard focus.

This is because matchbox is not starting - there is no window manager.

The order of startup looks like this:
  • /etc/init.d/xS99UI start
  • xinit /etc/X11/xinitrc -- -nocursor -quiet
  • sh /etc/X11/xinitrc
  • sh /etc/X11/desktop.sh start

The reason the window manager doesn't start is because appmgr is now started using start-stop-daemon but is missing the -b option.

Adding the -b option and retesting builds.
