well, i don't know who packaged that fluxbox, so i'm not sure. It could just be in the login menu.

If not, edit ~/.xinitrc and add the line:
fluxbox

Perhaps that will do it...

As for wine, I don't windoz, so i dunno.

ok, i use wine with blag so basically all you have to do is double-click your .exe's in nautilus. its that easy.
