+If you use either bbpager or bbkeys, then you will need to have AT LEAST
+these versions:
+
+bbpager 0.3.0 from http://bbtools.windsofstorm.net/
+bbkeys 0.8.3 from http://bbkeys.sourceforge.net/
+
+If you use anything older than that, they will not work with Openbox. Why?
+The old "Blackbox protocol" used by Blackbox 0.60.0-alpha had messages,
+properties and the like prefixed with _NET, which is to be used by
+the new KDE2+/GNOME2 window manager specification. It was decided to keep from
+polluting the namespace and everything changed to _BLACKBOX. When the change
+was made, bbpager and bbkeys (as well as other tools, I believe) had to be
+updated to understand the new protocol.
