I'd like to know too. The thing I loved about bb 0.5 was that whenever
I moved to a new system, I needed only to compile it out of the box
and I was up and running.
Now I compile bb, then bbkeys, add 'bbkeys -noqt &' to my .xinitrc
file, configure bbkeys (since it doesn't seem to comes with any
default configuration). And then there's this bbkeys icon hanging
around in the left corner of my screen.
I don't know what your definition of bloat is, but two applications
where there once was one? Maybe someone should explain this to me.
