Okay the subject pretty much says it all but I think that some more info may be in order. I am currently using both Fluxbox and KDE till I get annoyed with on and kill it, thus I was hoping to find out how to enable the dockapps I see on everyones screen shots. I have dled, compiled, and installed the damn things but I don't know how to get them to run. Also if anyone has any suggestions on usefull dockapps for either KDE or fluxbox that would be helpful as well.
Thanks!

usually just from the cli with the name of the dockapp eg wmcpuload. These will generally appear in the slit by default with fluxbox, but you can use wmcpuload -w if it doesn't work. What have you tried, and what error responses did you get?

I had tried running the dockapp:
$wmnet
and this just loaded a small window with the app in it but it didn't load it into the slit.
I had also tried:
$wmnet -w
and got some error message that I don't remember since it never occured after the first time and now the above command loads the app into the slit just fine. Thanks for trying to help!

do you have .xinitrc created in your home directory? if so do you have this in it?
wmcpuload &
exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
