@Guillaume
I know it’s been months and you’ve probably found your answer already, but I’ll respond anyway. What you’re asking is really two different questions.

First, to launch apps on startup, see here:
http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Editing_the_startup_file

Second, to get them to open on the different desktops (fluxbox calls them “workspaces”) you can edit the Apps file to include “[Workspace] {4}” under that app (change the number). You don’t have to edit it by hand though. If you run the app you want on the workspace you want, right-click the app’s titlebar, go down to Remember, and check the box next to Workspace. This will add the line to the Apps file for you.

You all are welcome. Glad to see this is still helpful even if some of the links are broken. =D But I knew that would happen eventually.

Are you sure you can use $HOME in the Desktop entry file? Have you tried it to run desktop launcher on nautilus?

I have, and in fact I like OpenBox quite a lot, for many of the same reasons I like Fluxbox.

Have you tried OpenBox? My wife was a long time Microsoft Windows XP person, until I put Slackware 13.37 with OpenBox3 on the front room LCD TV. Now she won’t part with it. BTW, no, I am not using it with LXDE (or any other DE).

To be honest, all I use anymore is Fluxbox.
