Thanks for understanding what I meant and not what I typed. :-)
I see an error.

In ~/.fluxbox/startup

Make sure all foreground startup apps are sent to the background with
an ampersand '&'.  Here, conky seems to be the culprit.

You have:

/usr/bin/conky
/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager

You want:

/usr/bin/conky &
/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager &

Your xsession is stuck waiting for conky to exit.  You can verify this
by killing conky.  With the ampersand in place, the shell will put
conky to the background and continue running your startup script.  I'm
not sure if gnome-power-manager runs in the foreground, but it doesn't
hurt to tell it to run in the background, too.

Edit your startup file and re-run fluxbox from gdm.  Let me know how it goes.
