I don't need silly icons in panels in order to run things like
the network connections program, the programs can be invoked
perfectly well from a terminal or a menu entry in a .fvwmrc file
(though mostly I don't use wi-fi since just about all the systems
I use are desktops with hardwired connections).

That's OK, it is easy to build from source, so I'll just start doing
that.

Don't have any idea what a fluxbox is :-).
