Only to solve this one properly:
Searching harder, I found out the problem came from different versions, as I thought. Debian 12, for some unknown reason, doesn't have Fluxbox 1.3.7 (stable since 2015), but its ancient version, 1.3.5. It seems 1.3.7 is scheduled to be present in Trixie (Debian 13). So, I've compiled properly 1.3.7. First, I had fluxbox 1.3.5 deb installed 1. So, to compile 1.3.7, I had to make a "build" directory on my $HOME where I untar fluxbox-1.3.7.tar.xz (got from fluxbox.org) and get into the dir created (fluxbox-1.3.7). mkdir ~/build cp ~/Downloads/fluxbox-1.3.7.tar.xz ~/build tar -xavf ~/build/fluxbox-1.3.7.tar.xz && cd ~/build/fluxbox-1.3.7 2. I've installed build-essential and xorg-dev 3. Then, to fix a build failure when building with gcc-11.1 (thanks people from Linux From Scratch!!): sed -i '/text_prop.value > 0/s/>/!=/' util/fluxbox-remote.cc 4. After that: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make make install (as root) And voilà, fluxbox 1.3.7! I must say I felt like in the 90s, when I used Slackware.
