 It's not a good thing to tell people to change files installed by
 ports/packages, it will lead to problems during "desinstallation" and/or
 upgrade.
 
 That option can be given to startx on the command line as documented in
 startx(1).
 
 I don't think, it should be in the Handbook, but maybe in the FAQ, and
 also something about using "ssh -X" too would be great :)
