Blackbox's workspaces are different than X's screens. A X screen is a
seperate monitor/video card set up in your system (or using some program like
Xnest which virtualizes this). If you heard of a multi-head X server or
window manager, that what this is all about.
A Blackbox workspace is a virtual desktop that Blackbox defines. You can
have multiple workspaces even though you have only one monitor/video card.
Hope this helps.
