blackbox 0.70.0beta2

[Ryan Freeman]

hello, to start, i would like to say that the first window manager that  
i ever really enjoyed was blackbox. I started using it just as the new  
0.60 series came about. i've used fluxbox, then openbox, then gnome +  
openbox, and now after having that heavy desktop environment (which is  
coming along quite nicely i must say) i had the itching to just drop  
right down to basics again. the new 0.70 series is quite interesting,  
and while its still in beta there are a couple things i wanted to clear  
up.

1. bbkeys - (is this the wrong list for this?)
	the new bbkeys for the new blackbox works but doesn't show up  
in the slit. is there no slit in the new blackbox yet? or does the new  
bbkeys simply not have that cool key icon yet?

2. binary size.
	my blackbox binary is a wooping 5.1mb. i seem to remember the  
previous blackbox builds being only a few hundred kilobytes. is this  
just a fact of being a beta still? i tried using upx but i only brought  
it down to 1.6mb. seems a little high. either way its not like i don't  
have enough disk space, just curious! ;)

3. themes.
	the new bb comes with a set of familiar themes. i tried copying  
my old preferred theme (chaos2) into the new bb styles directory and it  
seems to work just fine. however, a few things look a little different,  
not that they look bad. is there a conversion process that needs to be  
done? or is it just the way the new 'render' engine works?

thanks and sorry for the long message.
