Change window manager

[Jason Ribeiro]

If you install fluxbox through the ubuntu repos it should create an
appropriate .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions (I think this is the
correct path, I'm not on ubuntu at the moment).

If you've decided to compile it yourself for some reason, then you
have a few options.  One option would be to remove your compiled
version and use the ubuntu version.  The other would be to create the
.desktop file yourself.  If you want to create it yourself, you can
use the .desktop file in the ubuntu pakage as a reference.  I believe
the fluxbox FAQ may also have some tips on this.
