This should be okay for the "startx" command, but display managers

This file is needed for display managers.

It's quite easy. Create or modify so you have this:
1. ~/.xsession
#!/bin/csh
source ~/.cshrc
exec ~/.xinitrc
This assumes that your shell is the C shell, FreeBSD's standard
dialog shell. This file is used by the display managers, such as
xdm. It sources your user's C shell settings from .cshrc so you
have these settings in X when, for example, you're starting an X
terminal. Then it continues running as .xinitrc ("exec" statement).
2. ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
exec startkde
This file is used when giving the "startx" command from the text
mode console or executed after login by a display manager, such
as xdm. It continues running as the "startkde" command, which is
supposed to launch your KDE session.
After creating the files, run
% chmod +x .xinitrc .xsession
Now you can
% startx
to start X and KDE, or use xdm or kdm - no matter which solution
you use, the config files are prepared to cope with both situations.
