Yes this is being worked on. No idea how much longer. The real impetus is we have to rewrite the bbtools for the netwm spec anyway. bbpager specifically will break 100% and bbkeys will be horribly wounded. Since we have to rework them why make the same 'mistake' made a few years back. My problem with the bbtools is you have to copy and paste the code, then change it for your app. You end up with cruft you do not need and bugs fixes not being shared.
