I love Blackbox 0.61. Sorry to barge in like this but I installed gnome
session, panel and help and fired them up in BB. I know the BB crowd
don't like Gnome, but while gmc worked I got a lot of session error
messages. Did you patch your BB, or do you have certain things loaded
to fire up in your xinitrc? if so, what? I'm trying to get the two to
work...

Thanks, 

Jonathan

PS What do teht mean by gnome support anyway? Lack of certain advanced
features i could live without, error messages, can't live with...
