I almost have a real implementation of maximize over slit.  Blackbox keeps
track of the usable portion of the screen and only allows windows to appear in,
fill, etc that area.  The toolbar and the slit are subtracted from the screen
geometry.  When the net wm spec is implemented, anything that asks to be
uncovered (panels) will be.

The keybind code will likely appear in blackbox at some future date (around 4 -
6 months I think).

Is this the wheel mouse changes workspaces patch?  Sorry, that one won't enter
blackbox proper.

I wanted to not hear the screams before I force upgrade my Debian users.
