As I said (or rather tried to say), if your login-manager offers you
different selections, it will have a system-wide default for Blackbox.
This appears to be /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Blackbox on your machine.

Now assuming that you can select a session when you login, do NOT choose
blackbox, but choose 'Default' (or whatever comes closest to it).  I'm
quite certain that this causes you ~/.xsession to be executed (if it is
executable).

This would be system-wide for all your users.  If you're the only user,
you can do it that way, but it's not, technically, the right way.
Instead, as I said above, choose 'Default' (or whatever) and execute
blackbox from your ~/.xsession yourself.
