Actually there is already that functionality in the susewm package. In
/etc/rc.config change:

SUSEWM_UPDATE="no"

 To:

SUSEWM_UPDATE="blackbox"

And run SuSEconfig. A new menu will be made in /usr/share/Blackbox/menu,
and the old one will be backed up there too.

If you want to do it manually:

# mksusewmrc blackbox

HOWEVER: When testing this I found that I forgot to add menu entries for
Configure, Reconfigure and Restart (yes, stupid me) so I've built a new
7.3 package and it can be downloaded here:

http://www.suse.de/~mmj/susewm-3.4.1-50.i386.rpm

If it's not there, please be patient. The syncing should be done ASAP.
