Hi Jan, I have a very good advise for you about the blackbox configuration files. If you read all the manpages of blackbox and all the blackbox tools you wish to use (if no manpage for a certain bbtol, read the README comes with the source, etc.). If you read them all, then you will know how to configure them on your own. Therefore you don't have to use bbconf, and you can specify where the config files should be. For example I have a ~/.blackbox directory, and (nearly) all my blackbox config stuff resides there. If you look at the configuration file of blackbox, you will se, you can specify where the (user) menu file is. If you start blackbox with the -rc parameter, you can specify, where the user's blackbox configuration file is. For bbkeys there is a -c parameter, so you can put the bbkeys config file into that ~/.blackbox dir. If you desire not to have separate config files for each user, I think it is possible also. In this case every user will have the same configuration. Try to set up an environment acceptable for every user, and try to make it read only. (For example do not put the Configuration menu into the menu file, do not allow them to change styles,...)
