X and Fluxbox :: Fluxbox funkified?
I did the same thing today with the 0.9.9-1...
Same issues.... libXft.so.2 ... It already exists in the base .iso
I think the lib that it links to will need to be updated...
May need to manually update xinit, since running it fails...
More tomorrow...

I tried adding "[restart] (fluxbox-0.9.9) {/opt/fluxbox-0.9.9/bin/fluxbox}" to the menu as an option to manually editing the .xinitrc
It failed, but I'm not sure if it's just because of the libX or if fluxbox stable doesn't support restarting to another window manager...I don't recall seeing an error when using this menu item.
Just a suggestion, ke4nt, if you get this working before I get my lazy butt motivated...
I was thinking about how to use fluxbox-dev as a completely separate application from stable, including the $HOME/.fluxbox files. Using the command option -rc you can specify a different init file to use (such as ~/.fluxbox-dev/init). In this file you can specify where to find the menu, slitlist, groups, and default style, so all of these files can be placed separate from $HOME/.fluxbox/
I'm not sure about the apps file, though, as I haven't seen any documentation about changing the default on that one....I'm assuming it would be the same "session.appFile: ~/.fluxbox-dev/apps", but since I haven't tested this I can't be sure.
You probably already know all this, but I thought I'd put it in print just in case.
Nope, I've got my hands full for now...
I didn't know the half of what you posted about fluxbox running in another env.
Familiar enough from playing with it to follow your post with some intelligence.
It would be a good thing to move it to a "/opt/$HOME" since it is already writable.

/opt is user-writable in DSL?
I was thinking of just making a separate hidden directory in $HOME for the fluxbox-dev configs, such as ~/.fluxbox-0.9.9/
