Hello atk2!

For first way you can use this method kindly given by Steve Brown
<freebsd@prayforwind.com>:

> As root goto /usr/ports/x11-wm/<preferred-windowmanager> and "make && make
> install".
>
> Now, users can create or edit /home/<userID>/.xinitrc .
> Change the line which says "exec twm"  to say "exec
<preferred-windowmanager>"
>
> If it's one of the full environments (like KDE), change it to say
"startkde"
> instead. Here's mine as an example:
>
> $ more .xinitrc
>  xscreensaver &
>  xearth -nomarker -wait 30 &
> # exec twm
> # exec afterstep
> startxfce
> # startkde
> $
