yeah... basically... but hey, it gives you the ability to run what you like... so the RAM usage is a small price to pay. Also bear in mind that yes there are two X sessions running... but on the first X session, there isn't a whole lot there (gdm CAN'T take up THAT much RAM). Also... if you don't want to use their version of blackbox... compile a new version, then run the binary (you can run ./configure and make without being root... you just won't do 'make install', which is fine, as blackbox can be run from any directory).
