Hello GNUser,   Simply replace flwm.tcz with fluxbox.tcz in the onboot.lst you’re already familiar with

Hi GNUser
Start the  Apps  utility.
Select a window manager.
Click the  OnBoot  dropdown and change it to  Download Only.
Click  Go.
Click  Apps->Maintenance->OnBoot Maintenance.
Select your current window manager from the list on the right and click  Delete Item from list.
Select the new window manager from the list on the left and click  Add Item.
Exit  Apps  and reboot your computer.

GNUser:
Wow, so it really is just a matter of the WM being installed and the only one loaded?
It's hard to accept that it's that simple :)

How does the system know which of all the loaded extensions is a WM? In TC are all WMs rigged to create a marker file somewhere?

Yes they are. Look in  /etc/sysconfig/desktop.

GNUser:
That's devilishly clever. The more I learn about TC, the more I'm amazed.
