this happens later.  If blackbox actually loads and you get windows then the
style not existing is no big deal.  If you would do 'ulimit -c unlimited'
BEFORE starting X, this will allow core files to be written.  Then you could
track down the cause by doing gdb /path/to/blackbox /path/to/core.

Blackbox is now onto the 0.62.x series and many bugs have been squashed.  Try
going to http://blackboxwm.sf.net/ and grabbing a new tarball.
