I was referring to bbpager. I'm using:
Blackbox: 0.70.0
bbpager: latest version from CVS
on a current NetBSD/i386 system running XFree86 4.5.0.

OK, I'll try again.
I start X with startx. My ~/.xinitrc:
$ cat ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
errfile="${HOME:-/tmp}/.xsession-errors"
( rm -rf "$errfile"; umask 77; >"$errfile" )
exec >"$errfile" 2>&1
. ~/.xinit || echo '~/.xinitrc: failed'
$ cat ~/.xinit
WM=blackbox
[...]
${WM:?} &
wmpid=$!
bbkeys &
( sleep 1; bbpager ) &
wait $wmpid
Now, after issuing startx, bbpager looks like [1]this (use something like
'gzip -dc file | xwud' to watch the file). However, if I change the last
three lines of ~/.xinit to read
bbkeys &
bbpager &
wait $wmpid
i.e. I don't start bbpager in a subshell after waiting for a second, bbpager
looks like [2]this, and the following lines are written to ~/.xsession-errors:
bt::PixmapCache: maximum size (2048 kb) exceeded
bt::PixmapCache: current size: 17408 kb
[...]
I hope this is somehow understandable... please tell if it's not.
Hints on how to debug this are appreciated.
TIA, Jukka
