Hi,

i'm trying to use the kdm (KDE's display manager) on my FreeBSD (4.6 stable) 
system to start xfce. xfce seems to start but the wm(??) doesn't work. Every 
window (application) i create is missing the "top bar" (where you close, 
minimize, maximize the applications).

If i hit startx everything works fine, it's just when i start it from kdm.

The following lines have been added to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession:

case $# in
1)
    case $1 in
    XFCE)
        exec /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce
        ;;
    GNOME)
        exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
        ;;
    kde)
        exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
        ;;
    failsafe)
        exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
        ;;
    esac
esac


I don't have a ~/.xsession file (didn't think i needed one).

I'm using xfce 3.8.16 and have installed the complete KDE 3.0.2.

Any ideas?

Regards.
