Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to look for tools that claim NetWM
compatibility and try them out. It would probably be a good workout
for the CVS Blackbox. It's unlikely you'll see "NetWM", they are usually
advertised as "Gnome or KDE desktop compatible". Pagers, key handlers,
taskbars like gpanel, they should theoretically work, no? Even the
Gnome panel should work if I'm correct.
