Where do you set the green? I hope it's not in your ~/.xinitrc. The
background command is overwritten by the rootCommand in the loaded style,
which in turn is superseeded by the session.rootCommand directive in your 
Blackbox rc file.

Frankly, I gave up on bbpager from CVS, it seems to behave rather
strangely in many situations which are 0.70 related.

You also need bbkeys from CVS, or the newly released 0.9.x version.
You could also use the toolbar for navigating workspaces. There's a patch
on the tracker which inverts the mouse wheel workspace change:

By "default" blackboxrc you probably mean a 0.65 rc? Things have changed
a bit for 0.70. What line was that which made it crash?

Just take a moment to migrate to 0.70 properly. It's been very usable for
almost a year now, if I dare say so.

Also, 0.70 can use lots of EWMH tools, see this page:
