Iīve Installed fluxbox using apt-get and started and selected it from the session button on the login window .but all I see is the a empty desktop and a bottom panel displaying date and time and workpaces .
Right-clicking on the desktop I get some menus like applications and configuration ,most applications installed in Gnome are Gone and I Have no access to
system files , I canīt see the Dock .

Iīm using Ubuntu with VMware 3.0 and I canīt get fluxbox in full screen also.

Anybody could Help ??

Thanx

maybe you should read the manual:
http://www.fluxbox.org/

run-> sudo update-menus
& restart fluxbox, that should give a decent menu.
if stuff is still missing you can press-> alt+f2 & launch what ever you need.
