Sorry, no, that'd be 'KB' of course!  :-)

Hmmmm.... hard to believe given it's C++ origins, but yes, I keep
meaning to at least try it out....

I really do like having miniature labelled and movable views of the
windows in each of my workspaces.  Is there a workspace pager available
for blackbox?  If so does/can it render the icon name in each window?

I kinda like icons too, though I usually have too many of them :-).  One
of the reasons for icons is because it's easier to then quickly see
which xterm needs attention (I try to always use -ziconbeep).  I don't
like title bars as an alternative either -- ctwm expands the title bar
when you mouse over an icon, and that's a _much_ better use of screen
space.  I don't need fancy coloured icons with many-coloured miniature
images on them, but simple bitmaps are necessary IMNSHO.
