No, it's not :) I don't have fbpager in the slit, it's on its own on the upper
right corner of the screen... And I suppose Lenin Lee has somewhat similar
setup, right?
Currently, if I maximize a window, the upper right corner of the mentioned
window - with all the close-maximize-minimize-buttons - stays under the fbpager
(It used to go on TOP of fbpager, don't remember when the change occurred, I'm
currently using 1.0.0 on Gentoo). I can of course circumvent the problem by
right-clicking on the window's titlebar and raise the layer, but still I'd like
to know whether there's a way to control the layer *fbpager* is on.

BTW, the slit settings can be found on fluxbox menu, too (Fluxbox Menu >
Configure > Slit), at least on my setup. I can move slit on top or to the bottom
at will, but it doesn't seem to affect fbpager. Or do I need to restart fbpager
and/or logout/login after every change?
