Yep, bbconf is quite nice.

You should be able to load what you want/need into the Slit.

Hmm, sounds like you're heading toward session management ala KDE, and

Although I strongly believe that the philosophy of Blackbox is to avoid

to hack a sh script that would update a file sourced by ~/.xinitrc or
~/.xsession.
