“Fluxbox is a fast, lightweight, very customizable
window manager for X. Fluxbox is a great choice for Linux users who
favor speed and efficiency, and setting up their working
environment just the way they like….

“When you run Fluxbox for the first time there isn’t much to
see, just a blank desktop and a bottom toolbar that displays a
workspace switcher, a clock, an iconbar, and a system tray
(systray). In other graphical environments, like GNOME and KDE,
this is called the panel rather than the toolbar. The iconbar and
systray aren’t apparent until you have some applications
running.”
