I'm actually tunning fluxbox on Ubuntu (my laptop thrashes a lot when I run GNOME because it doesn't have a lot of memory). I'm pretty sure I didn't need to do anything special beyond install the fluxbox package. Then when you get the GUI logogn screen, click Options down in the bottom left corner and pick "Choose session". fluxbox should be added to the list by the Ubuntu packages for it. I believe this defaults to "Last session" so in the future when you login, it should go to fluxbox, and you can always switch to GNOME if you need or want it for some reason.
