Is there a system tray for Fluxbox where I can run things like Pidgin, Exaile, Amarok or whatever else that needs a system tray?

It's built in the fluxbox's taskbar. Great, isn't it?

Is it the "slit"? Also, is it possible to separate it from the taskbar?

Slit is something else. If you run something like gkrellm, it goes into the slit (which is by default in the lower-right corner). You cannot see it until you run something which goes into it.

Hmm, the problem is, I like to keep the taskbar small but at the same time, I want to have enough height for my system tray icons because I like to run my gmail notifier and have big enough icons for xchat, pidgin, exaile and whatever. Is it possible to have a separate system tray (that I can specify the height of and place anywhere I want on screen)?

In that case, you'd need to disable the fluxbox's system tray (edit ~/.fluxbox/init, the line you're looking for begins with session.screen0.toolbar.tools: just make sure systemtray is not there), and use some standalone tray program. I used stalonetray (in community), but there are couple more in the aur.
You can put stalonetray into the slit

Excellent post. Thank you very much! Which other ones are in the AUR? I tried searching but couldn't find any.

So far I like this stalonetray. How do I configure it? How do I position it?

Nevermind, figured it out.

If you search for "tray" in the aur, you find these: peksystray, tksystray, wmsystray; in extra: docker, trayer. I tried some of them some time ago, but I wasn't at all happy with them. Stalonetray was the best (for me).

Stalonetray is the best !
Could have been named rambotray or rockytray

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Thanks, turns out I was searching in the wrong place.

I'm beginning to like Fluxbox more and more as a WM. I only have one "big" problem compared to DE's like Gnome and KDE. When I am on workspace 1 and minimize an appication to the system tray, then switch to another workspace and restore the application from the system tray, it restores to workspace 1 (the original workspace from where I minimized it) and not the current workspace. I've also tried stalonetray, but it does exactly the same. Anyone knows how to make applications restore to the current workspace?
