That is probably the proper way of doing it. However, the blackbox menu is extremely easy to edit. I have the following in my ~/.blackboxrc session.menuFile: /home/cgray4/.blackbox/menu and the following in /home/cgray4/.blackbox/menu [begin] (Blackbox) [exec] (aterm) {/usr/bin/aterm -shading 40% +sb -transparent -fg green -sl 500 -vb -e screen} [exec] (Terminal) {/usr/bin/gnome-terminal} [exec] (Netscape) {/usr/X11R6/bin/navigator} [exec] (Gnus) {/usr/bin/emacs21 -f gnus} [exec] (Mutt) {/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e "mutt -y" -T "the mutt is not a dog"} [nop] (\(Debian\)) # [submenu] (Debian) {} [include] (/etc/X11/blackbox/blackbox-menu) [exit] (Exit blackbox) [end] The include line gets the whole Debian menu, and I can order the other menu entries the way that I want.
