| Fluxbox |
Fluxbox[1] is a light-weight and fast window manager. Regardless of the window managers that you have selected to install, Fluxbox is always available as an option in the login menu.
Figure 6.7a shows a screenshot of Fluxbox running on PC-BSD. In this example, the user has launched the Application menu by right-clicking on the desktop.

The Fluxconf PBI, available in AppCafe®, adds the following tools:
- fluxbare: seen in Figure 6.7b, provides a tiny toolbar allowing you to launch the next three utilities. Type fluxbare within an xterm to open the toolbar.
- fluxconf: seen in Figure 6.7c, is used for managing window placement.
- fluxkeys: seen in Figure 6.7d, is used to define and manage keyboard shortcuts.
- fluxmenu: seen in Figure 6.7e, is used to add or remove entries from the Fluxbox menu.
