Thanks for the help Ciprian.
The version of bbpager I have is the latest one I could find - 0.3.1
I shall be checking out the monitoring tools you mentioned and if I have lots of spare time I may try and get a trash can to work :p but thats not a priority.

On the bbpager side (I hope this is the right place for this) it appears to start as a very narrow strip on the far left side of the screen which disappears after a few seconds...
If i start it manually it throws up a 'Cannot connect to window manager' error. Any help?
I'd guess the bbpager and Blackbox versions don't match. For the new 0.70 Blackbox you need CVS bbpager IIRC. Tell us what versions you have.
I also used to use a sytem monitor plugin and a trash can plugin on bb4win... any similar aps for blackbox?
You may want to try gkrellm or various dockapps (from dockapps.org) for monitoring. These will load in the slit. Serch our website (blackboxwm.sf.net), I've added a page about the slit recently.
The trash can is not so easy. On Windows there's only one convention about
the trash handling, under Linux each desktop environment has its own.
Blackbox itself only manages windows, doesn't care about file handling.
It's not a full desktop environment in this respect.
You'd have to decide on a combination of desktop environment and file
manager to get the equivalent of a trash can. This will come in the form of
a desktop icon, most likely. Next, if you want an easier-to-reach
equivalent of that trashcan you'd have to see if there's either something
you can load in the Blackbox slit (perhaps a dockapp), or if that desktop
environment provides a panel or something.
