It is usually considered better to create or modify ther user's own configuration files than system-wide configs. Even if you are the only user, you system configs could get (or need to be) changed during upgrades. Also, if you just use user-only configs, you could probably switch to an entirely different operating system distribution (or flavour) and it will still work the same. I do agree with the need to set the system-wide config for xdm (or gdm, etc.) since the original poster wanted to turn on the computer and be at the gui. User configs included .xinitrc (for startx or xinit or X) or .xsession (if using xdm). > This script simply looks for two things in the user's ~/.blackbox > directory.
