How do I set a default window manager for XDM?

Question

I would like to setup XDM so that all users are logged into the Blackbox window manager by default (without adding a .xsession file to each home directory). Any clues?

System-wide resources are defined in /etc/X11/Xresources/, all you have to do is add a xsession file in that path.

Make sure the file is world-readable but not world-writable.
