This isn't really a feature suggestion per se, but more of an inquiry. The
current blackbox theme spec allows for arbitrary commands to be run from
inside a theme file. In addition to the security concerns voiced earlier on
the list, I believe that many people set the background directly from the
.xinitrc (or equivalent) file. This aspect of blackbox themeing seems to be
the most intrusive, considering that the root image is more segregated than
most window manager functions. Should there be a configuration option for
blackbox that ignores root image command in a theme file? This would
probably void any security issues regarding the matter. Besides, its
annoying when the background gets changed when trying a theme that you've
inadvertedly missed deleting the root image command.
