I recently installed Fbpager and it autoloads fine since I put it in my startup file. My question is. is there a way to not show the Fbpager on my toolbar? Basically be able to run the pager without it being on my toolbar. Thanks

Yeah, there is a way.
You have to install fluxbox cvs version though.
A "hide specific app feature" and support for the _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR state was put in shortly after the 0.9.8 release.

I think that running fbpager -w will put it into withdrawn mode in the slit and then it won't show up in the menubar.

There should be a problem with using devilspie for fluxbox versions below 0.9.9

Devilspies hide from taskbar mode sets the _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR state for programms that don't do this in the first place.

But fluxbox versions below 0.9.9 don't interpret that state flag.
