[openbox] OB2

I can agree on that, but I am wholly unimpressed with most other WMs, and 
personally i don't like OB3's configuration and themeing systems.

i know the original BB source was pretty big on dirty hacks... fluxbox, 
well... i'm not even going to touch that one. I tried the latest blackbox 
(released in september 2002) and it segfaults on startup. :-( I think they 
did rewrite it from scratch, but apparently they didn't finish the job.

So anyways, I'm gonna take a look at where OB2 left off and see if there's 
anything i really need to do to it.

>good luck with your mis-adventures :)

Thanks :-)
