bbkeys, pager and pal all work currently. The others are broken due to a bug in blackbox, not them. Another option is to write it as a window maker dock app. Those are often C, the bbtools are all C++. When 0.70.0 is released we plan to have moved out the common code in blackbox and the bbtools into a library so people can write blackbox style apps easily. However that is still a few months off.
