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
