while I hack on blackbox what I usually do is start X so that a term window is
the controlling window and not the window manager. When I change something
or fix a bug I just exit the wm and start it back up. If I know I need gdb I
usually run the wm from a second console so that way I can switch to it,
debug, restart and switch back to X.
