Have you run sawfish ever? There is no way you could emulate the
resource waste with blackbox. Simply by compiling the code instead of
having a running list interpreter (which is what sawfish does) saves
several multipliers of resources.
I don't think everyone is advocating *all* little apps be absorbed,
simply that there is some core functionality missing from blackbox. If
blackbox is going to handle any key bindings, it should handle all of
them. If you don't like keybindings, don't use 'em (an option to turn
them off might make people happy, but without a config file, why
bother?). But it won't hurt you to have them in will it? Really, you
might want to think about why you apose it, not just say 'feature creep'
and 'bloat'.
