I recently needed to join a "Zoom" meeting from my Debian workstation on which I use Fluxbox for my window manager.

The Zoom application starts in the upper left corner of my display with no titlebar or window decorations, so I cannot move it or otherwise manipulate it as I would with other windows. (I can perform some actions by right-clicking on Zoom in the toolbar, but options there are limited).

The Zoom application doesn't provide any inline help nor did it come with a readme or man page, at least that I have been able to find.

Is there a way to instruct Fluxbox to force window decorations on this window, either before or after starting the tool?

You can assign a key to run ToggleDecor. I have this in ~/.fluxbox/keys:

Mod1 t     :ToggleDecor

It's described in man fluxbox-keys

   ToggleDecor
       Toggles the presence of the window decorations (title bar, 
       window buttons, and resize bar).

I've just had the same problem and it turns out that the problem is that fluxbox doesn't have a compositor -- running a separate compositor (I use compton, but xcompmgr should work as well) solves this issue for me.
