Hi,

  I normally use blackbox when I'm in X (though I'll admit, I normally avoid
graphics completely), because I love it's simple straight forward and low
profiled, etc, yada yada (I'm sure everyone on this list knows why you should
use black box :) ).  Anyway I was playing with some styles, and I also
stumbled upon a program called webcollage, which I believe is part of the
xscreensaver collection.

  Anyway, I was wondering if it would be "proper" (tm) behavior for blackbox,
if when I tell it the root command is a program like webcollage (that is, a
program that continually updates the root menu, and therefore doesn't exit on
its own), and then I switch styles, or even window managers (gasp :) ), that
it would then send a HUP or some other kill signal to that process, since it
hadn't exited yet?  It seems to me a straight forward behavior, and maybe the
only thing you would configure is if it did so, and which signal to send (if
that).

  But before I went grepping through the source to try to add it, I wanted to
make sure it was a kosher idea :) .  Otherwise, I'll just live without the
feature.

  Anyway, thanks for the time, and more importantly, the great wm :) .

Ciao,
  Gryn (Adam Luter)
