It is rather simple to do, you just modify a couple GDM
configuration files. These specifically being:
You create a 'Blackbox' file set executable within the
'Sessions' directory in the gdm configuration directory hierarchy. (I
believe the default location is /var/X11R6/lib/gdm, I relocated mine to
/etc/X11/gdm .. use find or locate.)
This file should contain something such as the following:
BOF
#!/bin/bash -login
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession blackbox
EOF
You should also modify your Xsession file (default location is
likely /var/X11R6/lib/xdm) to execute Blackbox. It should be self
explanatory, nevertheless you add something such as:
blackbox)
exec blackbox
;;
That should do it.
