Ahh. Weird. I'm assuming that this means that bbpager (and all of the bbtools) won't be able to even draw their base windows on this setup, since we all share a common code base. FWIW, this problem should be rectified once the blackbox lib is finished and all the bbtools use it. Also, bbkeys currently does not, nor will it, have any on-screen presence other than the window cycling list (read: no keyhole window, etc.). So this problem is already fixed in bbkeys CVS. =:) > xwininfo shows depth 8 but bbkeys thinks is 24.
