I am not opposed to moving the rc file into a ~/.blackbox directory along with the styles file and menu if the user needs one. I am not so sure how vanR, kennis and crew feel about putting their rc files there. All of the new bb apps will work with any ewmh compliant desktop / window manager. > 3.

Applications that do not want to not be maximized over (panels in particular) lay claim to an edge of the screen. This is how the toolbar and the slit work currently. Perhaps you have the "full maximization" option enabled? This disables strut handling. > 8.

Have not looked at the new code deeply enough to really answer this one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
