I am looking for suggestions for having graphical icons on the blackbox
desktop.

My 5-year-old son, who has been using computers to play games
and dabble in The Gimp for a few years now, is using his computer more
and more. Almost everyday he uses xpaint and pbskids.org (can do simple
painting there).

The menu is okay to use, but I think it would be easier for him to have
some graphical icons to click on. (And definitely easier for my
three-year-old.)

My blackbox faq mentions: "kfm (KDE filemanager), gmc (GNOME filemanager),
xfm (X filemanager)".[1]

What are some real lightweight graphical icon solutions that work well
with blackbox?

I don't use the slit, is there any bbapp to place small graphical icons in
the slit?

Thanks,

  Jeremy C. Reed

p.s. off-topic for this list, but feel free to reply off-list:
 - does anyone know of any mailing lists/forums for discussing various
   audio and video applications and coding (open source for BSD/Linux)?
 - any suggestions for good educational games and programs for young kids?
 - anyone in the Snohomish county area that wants to start a users
   group focusing on BSD, Linux, and open source?
