Okay, I read up more on KDM and found out that blackbox is 
started from a config file called blackbox.desktop, which 
in turn points to the blackbox binary.

I created a script that runs blackbox and bbkeys 
simultaniously (blackbox & bbkeys), then pointed 
blackbox.desktop to the script.  It works, but I have to 
exit blackbox and _then_ exit bbkeys to return to the KDM 
login screen (a little less annoying).  

Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

Mike
