Well, it's surely present in the system because I am using it at the 
moment instead of Lumina. Interestingly, I just tried to start 
lumina-desktop in the background having fluxbox already running and it 
also seems to work. So, the problem apparently is, that on FreeBSD 
Lumina doesn't start fluxbox automatically. Maybe it's related to how I 
start it? I simply do startx having this in the .xinitrc file:

exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
(or lumina-desktop instead of fluxbox).
