Well, once upon a time blackbox had support for Gnome and
KDE (well, the Gnome stuff was an outside patch), and it was
a mess. Everybody doing things their own way. Lots of redundancy.
Then, in the interests of peace, love and happier wm programers,
it was decided that KDE, Gnome and other interested parties
would work on a unified window manager specification.
They're still working on it -- really slowly.
In the mean time, until the spec is finalized, the old KDE
stuff has been removed, and the Gnome patch has fallen by the
wayside too. But once the new spec is done -- which better be
soon, since both KDE and Gnome 2.0 are supposed to use it --
blackbox should support it.
And that should give you Gnome support, at least when 2.0 comes
out later this year.
