Now that I've got beta3 working with the patches I needed (wheel mouse
patch, bbappconf patches to make iconify work), I just thought I'd
report... Everything is working great!
In particular, a pet peeve of mine throughout the alpha series was the
fact that xmms or blackbox (I'm not sure whose f

I'm not sure exactly when I started using bbappconf -- if it was with
0.62.1 or with an early 0.65 alpha. However, when I originally used it,
running "bbappconf -i" wouldn't iconify bbappconf properly -- I'd get a
little, blank, decorless window in my upper left screen on each
workspace. As a resu

I just installed beta3 on one of my machines, and most everything seems
rock solid. The only thing that I'm missing is a feature I'd noticed and
liked that I first saw in the alpha series (I'm running alpha7 on my
other box) -- being able to shade a window using the mouse wheel.
Has this feature

I decided, after all the fun discussion on the list lately, to try out
alpha8. After compiling and going into X, I realized I hadn't applied
the wheelmouse patch I'd been using on 0.62.1 (which allows you to
scroll through your workspaces using the mouse wheel)...
However, when I went to look at
Just a note -- I'm still using 0.62.1, and following this sequence does
_not_ crash it. If the behaviour is consistent with alpha8, it's
something in the new features for 0.65.

Okay, so this has really nothing to do with the development or use of a
window manager, but it's something I've been curious about in my 2.5+
years of Linux experience:
Why do most of the good X window managers have 0.xx versions after years
of development?
For example, I've used Enlightenment (

I'm replying to you off the blackbox list -- I didn't think it was a

Recently when somebody mentioned being able to "tear away" a
submenu/menu from the menu or window list, I noted it and decided to
keep that info for future use.
Today I decided to use it -- I've got a browser window open, and several
smaller windows as well that I often have covered by the browse

Pretty much; it relies on GNOME

Try using bbkeys, and configuring key-combo to do horizontal and
vertical increments/decrements...
Example bbkeysrc lines:
KeyToGrab(Left), WithModifier(Mod1+Shift),
WithAction(HorizontalDecrement)
KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(Mod1+Shift),
WithAction(HorizontalIncrement)
KeyToGrab(Down), WithMo

I was following the thread about the emacs resizing, and remembered
something that I've been having problems with for a while now.
A couple years ago, I ponied up the cash for Applixware Office, and 3 or
4 Linux distros and uncountable window manager changes later I'm still
using it -- it works f
So I recompiled blackbox with the edgesnap and wheelmouse patches today,
and everything went smoothly. The mouse wheel now allows me to scroll
between workspaces with ease, and I like that a lot.
I'm a little mystified by the edgesnap patch -- I thought I understood
its purpose, but I think when

I'd like to iconify evolution on startup, and I'm not sure how to do so.
(I use gkrellm, and I can have it easily open my inbox if evolution is
iconified, as well as create a menu item/gnome URL handler to open up a
compose message box... I just don't want to see it after startup all the
time, and

Okay, okay, so I'm not a _real_ *nix user, because I'm heavily mouse
dependent... I'll admit it. However, I find I'm much more productive with it,
and with a GUI, than without -- and if that weren't the case, what the heck
would I be doing using blackbox in the first place? :-)
So, my question

Last I'd tried GKrellM, I hated it -- but I just checked it out again, and
I've only been using blackbox for a few months, but it is certainly my
favorite WM in the more than two years I've been using Linux. My only beef
with it so far is the slit... and not so much how it looks or works, but how
programs are loaded into it.
