i just uploaded a new source targzball... it fixes the problem with
blackbox storing large numbers of pixmaps in the X server, causing it to
blow up..

there is a new resource in .blackboxrc, called  session.cacheMax... it
defaults to 200 (which is the maximum size of the pixmap cache)

anytime the max is exceeded, blackbox will flush the cache (ie. forcing a
timeout)

also... i got an email from Tony Asleson, telling me that blackbox didn't
behave very well on the Alpha... the linux kernel would complain about
unaligned memory accesses...  so... i fixed that (verify that it works
Tony... also... you didn't mention which color depth you were using, but
i'm assuming 24bpp, which would cause the unaligned access, 16 and 32
wouldn't have caused a problem i don't think).

enjoy people
