That makes sense. > I'm hoping that before the next full version of > blackbox/bbkeys/bbpager are released, we'll have a shared library.

For a few years, I always kept the Iconfied window list in my upper right corner. Any time I started blackbox, I would open up my menu and rip off and drag that icon list (even if empty) to the top right. Then I could easily click on windows I want to go to. For a couple years I patched blackbox to not let the menu get to wide (it was crop after some set size). This is so very long titles wouldn't make the menu cover of my valuable real estate. Sometimes I have over 50 X clients running. And 25+ iconified. Yesterday and today I have fbpanel open, but it is of no value to me yet. It shows many icons on bottom of screen, but I can't see what they are (only 1/4 inch in size) unless I hover for a moment over each one -- it is too slow. I'd like to quickly see all my X clients by name, minimized or not and be able to select and have it brought to the front and in focus. Now I am trying to live without minimized windows and just use shading. Later, I may try (if I have time) bbkeys and blackbox from CVS. Jeremy C.
