Thanks, that might prove handy.

I am currently using blackbox on one of my computers with the default
theme + bbkey, licq and gkrellm in the slit.  While licq and gkrellm
need a certain width to be usable (no tiny mode), I don't feel that
the screen gets too cluttered (and it looks cool ;).

Thanks to everybody for their suggestions.
