I've been running Blackbox for 8 years, but what the 'slit' is, has
always remained a mystery. This explanation does not bring any light
either. What, for heaven's sake, is a 'WindowMaker Dockapp', what
'mode' are they talking about, when is an application 'withdrawn', what
does the -w option do?
My conclusion is that the 'slit' is a big joke, they're keeping it
deliberately mysterious.  ;-)
