Thank you Manolis for your work. I installed it and have one difficulty, that otherwise I would not bother you or other users here on the list. I loaded gdm to autologin xfce but I can autologin to gnome. How can I do it to only load xfce. I use gdm_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf I setup a file How do I add new GDM sessions? I s/xfce/kde/g in http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q16 The process for adding new GDM sessions has changed substantially between GNOME 2.2 and 2.30. In order to add new sessions now, you must create a .desktop file containing the session configuration information. Session files live in /usr/local/etc/dm/Sessions. For example, to add a XFCE session, create a file in /usr/local/etc/dm/Sessions called xfce.desktop. That file should contain the following: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=KDE Comment=This session logs you into XFCE Exec=/usr/local/bin/startxfce4 TryExec=/usr/local/bin/startxfce4 Icon= Type=Application This file must have execute permissions. For example: # chmod 0555 kde.desktop After creating this file, restart GDM, and there will be a XFCE link under the Sessions menu. The link is there, but it fails to start, just cycle's back. If I edit /usr/local/etc/gdm/gdm.custom and setup [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=myusername it does autologin but to a gnome session. I was under the impression that since this was an XFCE special/custom disk, I was going to not see gnome, but I know that there are parts needed for xfce. Is there any way I can get this to work, but for xfce only?
