Most of the timers in blackbox were one shots so I saw little benefit in defaulting to repeating timers. - - added emacs local variables that prevent the addition of tabs to each file - update transient handling, should solve issues with apps like acroread. added a getTransientInfo() method of the BlackboxWindow class which handles checking the transient state in X and setting the appropriate - variables on the window.
