I'm using Linux and don't care much about my FreeBSD install, however,
it likely is more or less equal for FreeBSD too.

There are several ways to start a WM/DE for Linux, the most common ways
IMO are to use

~/.xinitrc

or much more likely to use an entry in

/usr/share/xsessions/

On a Linux mailing list I would ask you to provide more informations,
but I don't have knowledge about FreeBSD.

Anyway, I would search the web for FreeBSD + xinitrc and xsessions.

My apologise, assumed this should be completely bad for FreeBSD.
