Just my 2 cents but it seems to me that the more these features get added
back to blackbox the closer it gets to windowmaker.
The thing I personally like most about blackbox is that it has very low
overhead and responds well on slower computers. I'm not an expert on the
subject but I seem to recall that a correct ICCCM implementation does not
catch keystrokes..
specifically
ICCCM Version 2 section 6.3:
<QUOTE>
Convention
Window managers should ensure that they provide some mechanism for their
clients to receive events from all keys and all buttons, except for events
involving keys whose KeySyms are registered as being for window management
functions (for example, a hypothetical WINDOW KeySym).
In other words, window managers must provide some mechanism by which a
client can receive events from every key and button (regardless of
modifiers) unless and until the X Consortium registers some KeySyms as
being reserved for window management functions. Currently, no KeySyms are
registered for window management functions.

bbkeys seems to work well in spite of the QT vs. Gtk debate. As hardware
gets faster, software should run faster, but hey, that is only my opinion.
