Something else to consider is that when you say Dock, that seems to imply some sort of dockableness (my word! :)... What I mean is that in WindowMaker you can place doc apps side by side, whereas in blackbox you can only place (doc)apps inside the slit. Pocket? hmm... IMO, the -w flag of most apps gives lots of help... items are _withdrawn_ into the slit... bearing that in mind though, I still can't think of a better word, yet. .... *shrug* The hole? :) heh... I got better things to do this morning...
