I don't really know about fluxbox.
What you would have to do is search for how to create a launcher in fluxbox.
What would work is to do this:
Code:
okular &
in the console. Then, the program will not close when you close the terminal.

hi
thanks very useful
wich file manager you recomend?...
do you use any downloader manager like jdownloader?
wich one did u recomend to install and how can i install that?
thanks
Jdownloader works fine here. Don't forget to install Java, you will find it in /extra on your DVD.
You don't have to use konsole to start programs, just do a right-click on a free space on your desktop and you will get a menu.

If you have a full Slackware install, you can use the KDE wireless thingee under Fluxbox (indeed, you can run any of the included programs under Fluxbox. I haven't used KDE for a long time, even though I use many KDE applications, so I don't remember what it's called--KDE lost me with that Akonadi monster.
I would suggest that, since this is a different issue from the one in your first post, you start a new thread about it, including what you have tried. You might also search in the Slackware forum.
Alien Bob's wiki has a page on wifi in Slackware, but his site seems to be down right now:
