You can't. Blackbox waits until X tells it that the pointer has
entered the sliver, and then moves the toolbar up into view. No
sliver, no way for blackbox to know when to unhide the toolbar.
The code could be reworked to get around this (just replace the
exposed sliver with an identically shaped InputOnly window); but
you'd eliminate the only visual cue for the location of the hidden
toolbar.
If you really want to be rid of the toolbar, search around the
blackbox patch sites... there's a patch out there which completely
hides the toolbar (though there's no getting it back).
