Same here.

My toolbar is set to be visible and I have no Fbpager.

I am guessing that the problem is with Fbpager.  Do you still have the problem 
if you remove Fbpager?

Something I noticed is that the toolbar  will not show if hidden, until I move 
the cursor 1-2 inches or more from the right edge of the toolbar.  I have a 
clock on the right hand side and I need to come left well beyond it and into 
the application tabs area for the toolbar to show up.  In any other position 
the cursor brings the toolbar up as expected.  Now, if your Fbpager is where 
my clock happens to be (the right hand edge of the toolbar) then we have come 
across the same bug.  However, there is no flickering here.  The toolbar 
either shows up, or it does not.  So the flickering could be related to the 
canvas of the Fbpager being refreshed.

PS. I only use Fluxbox as a fall back when Enlightenment does not work.  
Perhaps you should give e19 a spin, now that it is in the main tree.  
Configure your favourite apps to show up when you right click on the desktop 
and you should be pretty much at home with it.
