Its just the way it works: the apps file is written every time flux 
exits and reread and executed (thus executing the apps inside it) 
whenever fluxbox starts.
Its one of the major disadvantiges of using this way to start apps.
You could write a script that would check if something is running and if 
not - start it, or kill it and start it afterwards.
Changing xdm/kdm/gdm 's configuration to use startfluxbox instead of 
fluxbox is fairly easy - and shouldnt cause anyone too much trouble :)
