Thank you. Of course.

1:
I understand that Fluxbox is a stacking window manager, so it can't replace a compositing window 
manager. Does anyone happen to know if it can replace Muffin, Cinnamon's window manager?

Related: Can anyone recommend an entire Cinnamon replacement -- that is, a desktop manager that's 
compiled, not interpreted -- that will support Fluxbox? The web hits I get are full of marketing 
horse feces with little-to-no technical/sys-architecture details.

"Jan 6th 2015 - New Release: 1.3.6 Is here!"
2015? Is that for real?

 From my Synaptic, I see I can install ver. 1.3.5-2. Ummm... Huh?

4:
I haven't seen my desktop in over a year. Is desktop availability actually required or am I 
misunderstanding and taking an example as a requirement?

That's enough for now.

HTH? Yes, it does. I have belonged to a great many lists to which I subscribed. I got confused 
because I've been receiving fluxbox-user posts, so I assumed I had subscribed. ...You understand, 
I'm sure -- nuf said.
