bash-2.05b$ pico .fluxbox/menu
to get a look at that file. I've recently reinstalled this system, so my menu is quite brief, but here's a look

My menu is quite crude. I've also got GKrellM and KMail launching when I start the X-server each time.
That's actually quite a bit of stuff, with very little that I've added. The purpose of Fluxbox is to give those that
want it a lean, fast window manager/desktop environment. If you want all those "Windoze-style" icons and
menus, then you're better off with KDE, GNOME, or some other de. But to get all that, you're loading a bunch
of gui's and using a lot of resources - which decreases your perfomance.
Another place to look to get some ideas is this
screenshot thread here at LQ. You can see what a lot of people
are using by browsing that monster thread. ;-)
