Thanks Jeff. That worked.
I'm almost in business. Do you know how I can get KDE as my
window manager instead of the default win mgr.

In ~/.xsession I have:
cat .xsession 
/usr/local/bin/startkde

And I have the KDE package installed:
pkg_info
...
kde-2.1.1           The "meta-port" for KDE 2
kdebase-2.1.1       Base modules for the KDE integrated X11 desktop
kdegames-2.1.1      Games for the KDE integrated X11 desktop
kdegraphics-2.1.1   Utilities for the KDE integrated X11 desktop
kdelibs-2.1.1       Libraries for KDE2
kdemultimedia-2.1.1 Utilities for the KDE integrated X11 desktop
kdenetwork-2.1.1    Network modules for KDE2
kdesupport-2.1      Mime and UUENCODE/DECODE libraries for the KDE
integrated X
kdeutils-2.1.1      Utilities for the KDE integrated X11 desktop
...
wrapper-1.0_1       Wrapper for XFree86-4 server
...

Anything else I need to do?

Thanks

Jim
