Horde Groupware already provides a default set of blocks, those are  
the 6 blocks you see. The fixed_blocks setting is only used to build  
the initial set of blocks, if the user doesn't have any blocks set in  
his preferences. If you want to use fixed_blocks instead of the  
default set, you need to set the 'value' for the portal layout  
preference in config/prefs.php to an empty string. (Or 'a:0:{}' if you  
get an error then).
