Hi, tried that and it didn't work. root~#cat .xsession
#!/bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce The whole idea of adding the entries in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession is so we don't need a "static" ~/.xsession file (we want to choose desktop dynamically). I have followed the instructions under 5.7.3.1 (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html#X11-WM-KDE2-KDM) in the FreeBSD Handbook, but no luck.
