Yes, I use Blackbox together with ROX and it really rox!!
You can have icons on your desktop but also you can use a kind of sidebar
(I stick it to the left) with
rox --left=Desktop &
in your .xinitrc.
BTW you don't have to say `exec' when you want the process in the
background. The shell just recoqnizes the `rox' command as a single
command and will not keep a forked a subshell around (AFAIK) see following
dialog:
