thanks for jogging my memory, I had been hiking for two days and was not in a computer frame of mind. bb blocks events at certain stages of execution. The move/resize bug is one place this is obvious. For another fun one, write a shell script to open 20 or 40 xterm/rxvt/insert x app here. After about the fourth things get real bad. That said most current wms suffer the same problems or did until recently when several wms have been fixed up internally. There was talk of a bb cleanup some months back by Jeff. I would like to know if he intends to finish that work.
