Why Fluxbox? Just wondering, considering XFCE4 is almost as fast, and
really has many more features that IMO, make fluxbox almost non-usable.
(did that make sense?) Anyway, I have used both and ultimately prefer
XFCE4 over Fluxbox.

Go with Sylpheed Claws. It's extremely fast, and the CVS has a gtk2
branch that I am using right now. Addressbook doesn't work quite right
yet, so if you need that, stick with the GTK 1.2 version.

There is for XFCE4. ;-)

I don't see why you don't like Mozilla Firefox. There's always Galeon
and epiphany which look more conventional and still support everything.

XFCE4 uses the Mandrake menu so unless you compiled gaim from source,
that shouldn't be a problem.
