X is only a display, and has no virtual desktops. its
just a grey screen with an X cursor, which basically
does nothing. it just allows you to run other apps
within it. blackbox is the app. or any other window
manager. they control the windows, but they dont

A few things I have noted:
o The slit appears behind certain windows, despite being labelled Always

o When I use the program 'wmcliphist' to keep a clipboard

There has been some discussion on this list lately about
having the option of doing all menu operations by keyboard
in blackbox. Some people would appreciate this option in blackbox.
Yesterday I was looking at the web sites of some other
windowmanagers and on the fluxbox website I
I switched to Blackbox from KDE. I really liked the fact that you could
set a different background image for each desktop, but I also remember
that, as you suggest here, it was really, really slow -- every time you
switched desktops there was a short but noticeable pause where it would
I cannot code myself so I cannot judge if the patch can be
adapted to blackbox (relatively easily or at all).
Brad and I have discussed this. Handling keybindings is not a simple thing and
means at least another 100 - 200 lines of code to be done right. Our belief is
that if we add

other odd thing is that although i see this quite regularly it doesnt
