Blackbox used to include keyboard binding support, but it was pretty poor and would be more maintainable in a separate app. So, in short, fluxbox is the devolution of blackbox. Also, you have the source to both, and the patches. Feel free to make Dysthebox, just don't claim it is blackbox 1.0. > 2.

Whether this means that Fluxbox development will continue independently of blackbox, or if it will continue taking patches developed for blackbox and using them is still mystery. scott -- Copyleft (c) 2001, Scott Moynes
