Just to qualify this, I am working with satanskin to solve
this and am able to repeatably produce this problem.
Anonymous and I both have the same problem on gentoo
systems (although he runs an x86/64 and I run an x86/32).
The problem does occur, for both of us, using the
"bunker-one" style but not, for either of us, using the
"lingo" style.
I will put this under a debugger soon and let you know what I can figure out if anything.

As mentioned in this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-384004.html certain applications that use a system tray icon (namely KDE apps) cause Fluxbox to hard lock and freeze. When starting some KDE apps (especially Kopete, guitoo, amaroK, Kaffeine) and various other non-KDE apps such as Folding@Home (through wine) that use a tray icon, the cpu usage shoots up to 99-100%, the clock in the toolbar starts flickering, and the machine becomes unresponsive. The only way to get out of it is to press the power button on the box. I'm using the latest fluxbox release (0.9.14-r1) on Gentoo 64-bit with X.org 6.9_pre20051030 currently. This did the same thing with fluxbox 0.9.13 and X.org 6.8.2. I have been able to run these same applications perfectly fine from within KDE, Gnome, and FVWM. Fluxbox is the only that locks up.
