just in case you missed why... X runs until it has completed everything in the .Xsession file. Once that's done, it kicks out and either dies, or respawns itself depending on how you started X ()startx vs *dm). SO with the & after fluxbox, you allowed fluxbox to move into the background and X to move on through the .Xsession file. Thus you were starting all that stuff up everytime you logged in, but then X died at the end of .Xsession and you were back at the xdm prompt :) A
