#How do i place and use icons on the fluxbox desktop?
I dont mind switching to XFCE, OpenBox et.c. as long as it's easy to
install OR someone helps me (thx to the guy at LQ.org that showed me
the Fluxbox RPM ).
The only important thing is that the WM
isnt slow and buggy like KDE and Gnome (hate them).

I can answer one of your questions.

To disable certain services run ntsysv from the command line. This will bring up the services panel.

The monitoring utility running in the screenshot you posted is gkrellm: http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html

I don't use Fedora, but here is how to install a version of XMMS that will play mp3: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-mp3.php Getting mp3 support is a common issue, so there are probably lots of posts here about it also.
