This entirely depends on your login manager, and the version of said application. Most login managers offer a Default option that falls back to user accessible configuration files. Using this option, you can create a ~/.Xsession file that contains the applications (including window manager) that you would like to run when you log in. The key is to list any applications you want started first (be sure to start them in the background by putting a & at the end) and the window manager last (but don't background it). Your X session will end when the last program executed in this file exits. As for how to list an actual Blackbox option, that will greatly depend on which login manager you use (GDM, KDM, WDM, XDM, etc) and you'll need to either let us know which you are using or review the documentation for it. -- Jamin W.
