I copy that (fluxbox not installed) but my yum don't see any 'fluxbox'
anywhere :-/

I type <fluxbox> in a shell:

---
[andrew@virgule bin]$ fluxbox
Failed to read: session.tabs
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.slitlistFile
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.groupFile
Setting default value
Failed to load groupfile:
BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server.
  another window manager is already running on display :0.0.
Blackbox::Blackbox: no managable screens found, aborting
Fluxbox: Unknown error.
[andrew@virgule bin]$
---

I understand I got to quit X server first then run fluxbox from a
command-line-only interface.  don't know how to kill Xserver and
<CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE> respawn X right into gdm/xdm/kdm.
