Ahh cool along with it's other features.  I'll have to take a closer
look.  I like blackbox but I don't particularly care for the toolbar.  I
use gkrellm, various stuff in the silt, and if I'm using bbpager I find
the desktop scroll through on the tool bar pointless.(tho yes the
program one has it's uses but often I just select "lower" when clicking
on a window to get at what is behind it)

I'm not sure why but epist isn't working on the openbox I have
installed.  Unless I'm using it wrong.  With blackbox I use
bbconf/bbkeys.

One of the features of the docker was that it can allow 2 docks wasn't
it?  I'm one of those people that likes some of the little wm dock apps
however depending on what I'm using they don't all neatly fit in
one(they scroll off the screen).

Menu wise I think openbox was the easier to mess with for changing to
something that matched my blackbox.  Waimea was a bit more picky on the
odd thing.  I do like waimea's "clean"(ie toolbar free) desktop but
still adjusting to how you switch desktops.  I was a bit weirded on the
vertical ones so now mine is 4x1 instead of 3x3.

Yes it seems most blackbox family stuff is compatable with eachother tho
I was suprised to see somewhere that one non blackbox wm was using
bbpager.
