Programs started by a window manager usually inherit their standard
output and standard error from the window manager. If you're using
xdm, you can start blackbox in your ~/.xsession file using:
#!/bin/sh
# This redirects the standard output and standard error from
# ~/.xsession (and all programs it starts) to a file called
# '.xsession-log' in your home directory.
exec >~/.xsession-log 2>&1
# Start whatever clients you wish here in the background ...
# Then, for the last thing:
exec blackbox
Unfortunately, my knowledge of CDE is limited to being able to spell it.
