1.  I'd get thunar.
2.  I don't think you can with fluxbox
3.  idesk I believe it's called.
4.  Here is mine, all you need is the part before text. After that just choose what you want from conkys page of variables.*
5.  Why would you paste that in a terminal?

* variables
http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html
* samples

Re: New Users Questions : Fluxbox [ window manager?desktop?conky?]

You have to make the ~/.Xdefaults file. It will be blank at first. Were you root when you ran make install? If not, do so.

EDIT - for most of this, read the fluxbox wiki.

Just use your favourite picture-editing program to move the figure onto a background.
