Fluxbox is irrelevant to this, as it is only a window manager.

As you are using Slackware, your best bet is to install the Slackbuild. Usually, Slackbuilds for the latest release version will work on --Current; very rarely, they do not.

See the Slackbuilds HOWTO for information about hot to install a Slackbuild.

You should use the 'startup'-file in the .fluxbox directory to use idesk.
