This sounds to me like the fluxbox starter (I'm not sure if fluxbox by
itself or some script that starts it with one or two other programs)
crashes. Did you try running revdep-rebuild?
And, if you want to experiment, you can start X from vt, lets say:
X :1.0 (on :0.0, it is already running with xdm)
then switch back to vt (probably different one) and start an xterm
DISPLAY=:1.0 xterm
then switch back to your new X (ctrl+f8 -- f7 is the xdm one) and try
starting fluxbox from the xterm to see what happens.
Did it help?
