This refers to blackbox and bbkeys from CVS.

1. May I suggest the unification of the configuration files under the
~/.blackbox directory? As long as there is more than one Blackbox file, it
makes sense to use a single directory for them instead of a directory _and_ a
separate ~/.blackboxrc file. I believe ~/.blackbox/rc or ~/.blackbox/config
were suggested.

2. I can't get bbkeys to display the root menu. I press the right combination
and nothing happens. The terminal where I started bbkeys blinks its text
cursor, so I presume it receives the combination instead of bbkeys. Is
showRootMenu the right keyword?

3. When I change workspace all windows appear unfocused. The one on top is
actually acting as if it is focused, but the window decorations don't show it.
On further investigation, it appears that the "click to focus" model isn't
fully implemented. I've selected "click to focus" and I still get "sloppy
focus" behaviour, only without the decorations to show it. Actually it's a
strange mix of click to focus and sloppy focus.

4. Right click in the Blackbox menu executes the entry under the pointer
rather than hiding the menu. Is this intended?

5. I've tried fspanel and kpager so far. They both have issues. fspanel (v0.8
which claims netwm compatibility) sometimes loses track of all windows when I
change workspace; can't figure out why the bug appears, will investigate more.
kpager seems to work, but I believe it was meant to run inside a panel or slit
or something, because it acts weird as a window(hides on bottom all the time
and so on). When I run it with --waitforwm which presumably enables netwm
compatibility, it crashes.

6. I have yet to test the Blackbox slit, as I can't find an application that
will use it. Can anyone suggest anything? I have KDE already installed, is
there anything I can use from it?

7. Is there any way to make an application such as fspanel be protected from
full maximization? There's not much point in using it if maximized windows
will cover it. The only trick I can think of right now is adjusting the
toolbar font until the toolbar is as thick as fspanel, then placing them both
on the same screen margin; fspanel covers the toolbar, and the toolbar keeps
maximized windows away. But it's not going to be very nice, using fonts to
control the toolbar thickness. It would be better if the maximize space could
be limited with a blackboxrc option: an X-style geometry option would be the
most intuitive IMO.

8. I noticed that right clicking on the window-name portion of the toolbar
actually brings up that window's context menu, not the toolbar's. It seems a
bit counter-intuitive to me. However, I can see how this feature can be useful
if you run into a window without decorations.

9. Suggestion: the toolbar context menu should look like the window context
menu ie. like a pulldown off the toolbar, not like a separate menu.

10. The Blackbox menu has a small latency when opening submenus. Can this be
controlled? Also, I wonder how the "open submenu" keybinding is chose between
left-arrow and right-arrow; is it based on where the bullet is or it's always
right-arrow?
