I assume that you are using a graphical login manager (most likely GDM or KDM). I'm also assuming that this login manager has some form of selecting which session to use after login. If both of the above are true, create a file in your home directory called ".Xsession" (note the . at the beginning of the file name). In this file put a single line like so: /usr/local/bin/blackbox Adjust the path to reflect that of the location of the blackbox executable on your machine. Then login in selecting Default as your session. If the above doesn't work, you'll probably need to supply more information about how you're logging in and starting X. -- Jamin W.
