The only thing I can think of, if you don't have a menu entry added (it should create a MyDSL submenu), is maybe you're logged in as something other than dsl. When you install an extension which creates a menu item, that item is added to /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu
If you created a new user, or are logged in as root, those applications won't be part of your menu.
Or maybe you installed as root? I'm not completely clear on how the menu items are added, but it may be that installing as root will cause the menu item to be created in /root/.fluxbox/menu. In this case, you wouldn't have it in the /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu.
