Suggestion for adding (or similar) to FreeBSD Handbook: 5.6. The X Display Manager ... 5.6.3 Xsetup_* Here background image and xdm applications can be launched. To change the color you can use "x11/xsetroot," but changing the image requires an application like "x11/bgs". Example: #!/bin/sh bgs ~/mypic.jpg & #xsetroot & #xconsole & xconsole can be commented out, if it is not needed. 5.6.4 Xsession Customization is better done by ~/.xsession. Example of ~/.xsession: #!/bin/sh exec xterm & exec fluxbox exec $1 In this example, applications are ended with an "&". The desktop choice is last on the list, and is absent of an "&". Be sure "~/.xsession" is read and execute permissible by owner and group. chmod 660 ~/.xsession (I realize that .xsession is covered in the next section, but it and Xsession also appear to have to do with XDM.) Thank you, and apologizes about past problems with posting this.
