so here is the howto direct from fluxbox

 

How do I add fluxbox to my sessions menu in Fedora.

 

The fedora distribution uses a different setup again. Instead of the dm-specific locations, it requires session files to be in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions.

 

So, to get Fluxbox into its session menu, create the file: /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fluxbox with contents:

 

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Name=Fluxbox

Type=Application

Icon=

Exec=fluxbox

 

You may need to put the full path to fluxbox in the Exec line if it is in a non-standard location.

 

This is a barebones entry. Hopefully one day we will be able to make a version with translations available in the main source distribution.
