I will try it, thank you.

I have deleted user and create it again, so it is working at this moment. But I have .xsession-errors when it has been broken, so here is:

/usr/local/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
FreeBSD is started up by the program 'init'.  The first thing init does when
starting multiuser mode (ie, starting the computer up for normal use) is to
run the shell script /etc/rc.  By reading /etc/rc and the /etc/rc.d/ scripts,
you can learn a lot about how the system is put together, which again will
make you more confident about what happens when you do something with it.
/usr/local/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- startxfce4
/usr/local/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
xfce4-session-Message: ssh-agent is already running

Missing module is interesting, because I tried to compile and install theese ports again with the same message.

Thank you
