On both my RH7.3 and RH9.0 machines (using GDM as login manager I believe) I made a file ~/.Xclients which contains: #!/bin/sh xset m 7 4 exec bbkeys -noqt -t -i & exec blackbox 2> /home/esnyder/.blackbox.errors which does the trick (of just running blackbox instead of the gnome environment). But if you mean how do you integrate blackbox into gnome (ie. still have the panel, and nautilus, etc.) I'm not sure. Might try reading the gnome-session man page and digging down into it's config file.
