If you are not using gdm, perhaps you like xdm or whatever, but there is another way. In each users home directory create an .xsession file. This should be an executable shell script. In the script, put a line to run whatever window manager you want for the user. Thus, for blackbox, use only one line:
exec blackbox For gnome, change blackbox to gnome-session. For kde, change blackbox to startke. You can also put x apps that you would like to start up in the .xsession, too. Check out the man page, there's lots you can do with the session start up file. For system wide, as mentioned earlier, update-alternatives --config x-window-manager will change the default for every user.
