Functionally, yes, but as pointed out by somebody else, GKrellM inside
blackbox looks like an elephant into a Church, and since we already have
bbtools, do we need anything else but *one* little place to put them in?
Now, most of the arguments in favour of the toolbar are:
1) I use many workspaces, and need something to toggle
and tell me which one I'm in.
2) Time of the day looks nicer in toolbar
3) I need to read which is the active window
To this I reply: what is a bbtool? If it is a small box on the screen doing something
useful, and the related code, then all items above
belong to this category. There is no difference whatsoever between the
"workspace" above and bbmail, bbppp, etc...
"I need workspace assistance" is very different from "I *need* the
toolbar because *today* workspace assistance is there"
If so, let's move the corresponding code to "bbworkspace", "bbwindow",
etc, and then everybody places whatever combination he likes in one
single "toolslit".
Or not?
