Hmm. When you edited .blackboxrc, did you use
session.menuFile: /home/scott/.blackbox/Menu
or
session.menuFile: ~/.blackbox/Menu
The second form won't work as things stand in 0.61.1.
If that's not the problem, check your X error logs and see
what error message blackbox is generating. Where these are
depend your distribution (looks like debian?) and how you
run X... if you run it manually via startx, it's probably
just logging to the initial console (Alt+Ctrl F1).
