Another person on this mailing list suggested me to use pnmixer for volume 
control. It also sits in the tray, and does exactly what's needed. So, I 
added it to my ~/.fluxbox/startup.

I'll try cbatticon.

As you may have guessed, I'm russian, and I need to switch my keyboard 
between the english mode and the russian one. But I do it in a more 
trivial way: my .xinitrc contains

setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps

So, I press CapsLock to switch to russian; the CapsLog led is on when the 
keyboard is in the russian mode.

I found screengrab for taking screenshots. I don't thing I need a special 
key binding for it, because I do it rarely. But if I'll need it, I'll do 
something sililar in my .fluxbox/keys.

Thank you once more,
