I finally got fluxbox installed from source (v. .9.14) but it doesn't show up under the session options at the login screen as an option for a windowmanager. How can I make fluxbox an option at the login screen?

save and exit.
fluxbox should appear on the login list.
This assumes you installed the command startfluxbox somewhere on the path
