It should be calling twm somewhere, just replace it with Fluxbox.
I've always been a Blackbox guy. What's the difference between that and Fluxbox? I know FB forked from BB around 0.61, and BB made some nice changes between .65 and .70 I'd hate to lose.
No idea! I've never run either..

As a side note, I have a soft sport for twm. I run it every once in a while. It never lasts, but it is fun to go back to. I have a 100MHz laptop where it is the default. I only ever start X on that machine to view pdfs really.

Also, I'm a fan of ctwm and xfce as lightweight options.

Well, flux is already at 1.0 and has a lot of nice features. I've been using it on and off for years now right after they forked from Blackbox. Since then, I've just been using fluxbox and haven't kept up with Blackbox since flux basically covered my needs and then some at the time.
