try looking in:

/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/

not sure about RedHat, but this is were Slackware keeps GDM entries.

You need to put a simple shell script file in /etc/X11/gdm/sessions (copy and change one already there) if you're using gdm but you also need to put a file in /etc/X11/xwmsessions.x (or something like that) as the gdm script only points to the files in here.

By looking at the other files for KDE and GNOME you will easily be able to make one for blackbox.

otherwise in kde, go into the control center-system admin -login manager- sessions - then just type in what you want to add (have to be in admin mode tho)
