Things to check:
o Blackbox is installed ok (check by having just "exec blackbox" in
  your .xsession and see if it comes up...
o You aren't doing something odd like panel & ; gnome-session
o You have a reasonably recent blackbox with any gnome-compliancy
  patches in place.

tried Sawmill, and it's okay if you like lithp...
