well i finally have the time to try it out, and now we have a new
fluxbox realease so here we go...
unfortunately it won't work, even with a brand new fluxbox and fbpager
config and followed what you said and it won't work...
what happens is that fbpager can be used to change workspace but it
won't show any window, neither will it show which is the current
workspace.
it seems fbpager can't get info from fluxbox anymore, though it can
'send' commands....

i wonder if it's planned to get fixed on future (maybe stable)
releases... i can't find such a simple yet functional pager, in the
very way fluxbox intends to be.

thank you christian for taking the time to help =)
and thanks devels for the new 1.1.1 which now is usable as it switches
workspaces faster =D
