For info, FluxBox, is like one notch up on BlackBox, allows lil icons in 
the slit for easy choosing of proggies u currently running.

Allows for nice transparencies, and the running of more KDE type 
proggies. The key is to add, the programs in your menu list, in that dir 
of .fluxbox/ini file.

Allows for nice themes, backgrounds etc. Once i learned those few tricks,
its hard for me to choose a KDE GNome or any high resource hog.

I have it tricked out with a few eye candy things like monitors, for 
processes eth0 etc... nice backgrounds and gnome-terminal works well w/ 
tranparencies. as well as konsole.
