because of the way blackbox works the programs are required to map a window. Blackbox uses a listener (subscriber, whatever) protocol. The app has to register with blackbox and they do this by mapping a window with a certain flag set. No window, no messages. So the best you can get is iconified at startup. netwm does not have this requirement near as I can see.
