As far as I know, Fluxspace is no longer supported. I tried a lengthy install process about a month ago with no success. Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to your question either. Is your path set correctly? also, get rid of the -f in fbsetbg -f ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/slack_bg.png and see it that works. I don't know why, but it has for me in the past.

fluxspace install gives perl connected error...
tried without option "-f", no difference
