You need a window manager, otherwise control just goes sailing right
off the end of your process, and back to the terminal. If you remove
the "exec fluxbox" line, you need to replace it with something else.
"exec xterm" might nor might not work for testing purposes, giving you
a single xterm which, when closed, would close down your X session.
Otherwise you need to install a different window manager, or restore
the default ("exec fvwm"?).

Not that this gives you any help with the actual problem, but maybe
it'll help you troubleshoot.
