Blackbox doesn't update workspace title in 14.2 (patch attached)

Yesterday, I thought I'd give blackbox a try out. It's been a while.

Anyway, I found that whichever workspace I switched to, the label in the toolbar always stated "Workspace 1". I found someone had reported it in 2009 on sourceforge and attached a modified Screen.cc, but nobody has responded to it.

I've made and tested a very small patch from that Screen.cc and so far it works with no problems. Better call it experimental though

*edit: This is for version 0.70.1
Cheers

I've just come across this:

Works fine so far. Although I had to recompile bbkeys and reinstall bbkeys separately,

Nice to see I'm not the only one running Blackbox.

edit: I'm running the version included with Slackware, so I cannot comment on your version of Blackbox.
