Let's only take a minute to think about which default value might be more reasonable... I you install multiple desktop environments via pkg (but consider there are even other packages which install something in the session directory, like net/remmina), you are in an unsolvable trouble, because slim no longer supp= orts even the "session" option in its configuration file, thus you are "condamne= d" to hit F1 each time you login to your desktop, because there is no way to s= et a priority among items in the session directory (you'll have the chance to bu= ild the custom package yourself, obviously). On the contrary, if we default the port's option to "on", those who eventua= lly have the "exec $1" in their own ~/.xinitrc must only change a word, which h= ad to be manually written anyway. And I guess most .xinitrc files out there serve the startx command more oft= en than slim, so it's more likely they contains "exec start-my-xsession-here". I personally think it's better to privilege "not experienced" users, who wi= ll more likely install their DE from pkg repository than build from Ports. Do = you think it makes sense? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
