Also something cool that can be done is to use bbappconf (or whatever the alternative is) to start up just a big, transparent, borderless, sticky aterm. I dunno about you, but I'm always popping up a term to do this or that, and it gets kind of annoying just having one laying open. If you do it that way, you've always got an aterm handy, but it's not really so..."noticable". You just see a little prompt in the top left of your screen (or where ever). The way I do it is in my ~/.xinitrc I start up bbappconf (iconified), start up my aterm so all the attributes get set, then killall bbappconf so it doesn't lie around looking stupid.
