Hi, I was not saying that I thought it should be a part of Blackbox. My statements clarified:
1. This is what Blackbox would have been under continued development. I mean, what is added here is the keyboard support and a "taskbar". Both these features has been offered as patches for BB on the BB site, and is functionality that a lot of people need (and some don't). 2. I was asking if Blackbox and Fluxbox are going to be two separate projects, or if Fluxbox actually is/will be the continuation of the Blackbox project (this based on somewhat conflicting postings in this thread). I have no strong opinion on this, I just wanted to know how Blackbox and Fluxbox are "related" :) On Fri, 9 Nov 2001 09:34:48 -0500 Jason vanRijn Kasper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: |Umm.
