--- Comment #2 from Pablo Brasero <pablo at pablobm.com> ---
Yes. Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly. I'll rephrase.

Section 5.7.3, as seen at
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html, has
instructions for both startx and XDM, as you point out.

What I mean is that the second of these two, the one about XDM, says to use
`exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4` in `~/.xsession`, and that didn't work for me.
However, using `exec /usr/local/bin/xfce4-session` instead, in that same file,
does the trick.

Now, it might be it's not that the command is wrong, but that the argument is
missing. That I cannot tell.

As for the startx route, I haven't even tried (I'm going the XDM route), so I
cannot tell.
