Err...make .xinitrc executable which chmod 740 .xinitrc
(Been a while so someone will probably come up with a better way).
the format should be something like
gkrellm -w &
blackbox
The & tells it to run the app as a seperate process (sort of) otherwise it
wouldn't run blackbox until gkrellm had exited.
Bear in mind all this stuff assumes you boot to runlevel 3...I've never
bothered to investigate doing something similar from runlevel 5.
