The problem with ubuntu is reported to be solved by disabling the x 
multibyte extension support in fluxbox.
This can be done by appending the --disable-xmb flag while doing a 
./configure - since you say you compiled from source, this should be a 
too big a problem ;)

It looks like the default locales on ubuntu are always utf, and sadly - 
X doesnt handle utf fonts to well - flooding the font server with font 
queries.
_Maybe_ changing the system locales (not just exporting the one 
variable) to an iso-8859-X encoding would help to solve this while 
avoiding recompilation of fluxbox, but i can give no promises since i 
simply dont use neither utf, or xorg (being on debian - i dont really 
have a good way to do that).
[speculate mode off]

Hope this helps.
Cheers -
