FC6 fluxbox

I am trying to create a fluxbox environment on FC6 like I had on my machine with FC5. However, fluxbox.desktop does not show up in the xsessions folder.

What I did:
cd /home/jeff/Desktop
tar -zxvf (fluxbox file)
cd (fluxbox file)
./configure
make
make install

I then proceeded to use vim to open the fluxbox.desktop file. The only things in my xsessions folder are gnome.desktop & kde.desktop.
Did I do something wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Using this as your fluxbox.desktop file will work in most distros:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Comment=The fluxbox window manager
Exec=startfluxbox
TryExec=startfluxbox
Name=Fluxbox
