Read the whole thread: I give a walk through of my fix for the slowness issue and other tips.

The latest source code for fluxbox ( 0.9.14) fixes the issue on Hoary. You can get it here:

http://fluxbox.org/

or direct link for a source tarball

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fluxbox/fluxbox-0.9.14.tar.bz2

If you use this later source version you don't need to do ./configure --disable-xmb

One hopes this will be fixed in the breezy version (I haven't tried the breezy deb as I'm still on hoary)
