I did that experiment long ago, starting from Manjaro/xfce on bare metal
(which I currently don't have, so you're in a better position than me
right now to do this experiment.)
What login manager are you running? SLIM has been deprecated, but it
was the default for Manjaro back then. Upon startup, it read the
available DE's from /usr/share/xsessions.
If you install fluxbox with your package manager, does it add an entry
to /usr/share/xsessions? If you logout, does your login manager now
show options for xfce and fluxbox?
