this is interesting. =:) I used to use blackbox solely--for a LONG
time!! and then there was the hiatus. and then I got curious as to how
the "big" environments really are. so I used kde for a couple of
years. and now I've used gnome/metacity for the last year or so. =:)
I've used bbkeys, though, through all of them, which has been nice.

keyhole! =:) anyway, no, the new bbkeys does not have any on-screen
