It's probably OK :-)

New versions of Fluxbox have "embedded" tabs - try middle-click and drag
on the title bar to join your windows into groups.

By the way, there's some excellent documentation linked from
http://fluxbox.org

Let us know if you have any problems with this; it should work as I've
described. You can also configure to have dragging with the middle
button to a window rather than to a title bar to achieve this. I'm in
gnome at the moment, but I run fluxbox 0.9.12 on my laptop. The first
time I saw this I found it equally puzzling !
