FreeBSD Port: x11-wm/xfce4-desktop

I noticed a curiosity in the xdg/xfce4/xinitrc using a call to linux systemd to activate dbus it does not look like this file has been patched for freebsd compatibility

I notice that the FreeBSD Handbook at

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html (last section on configuring Xfce)

asks the user to install this file either as .xinitrc or .xsession

An unsuspecting user following the Handbook is going to have an unpleasant surprise.
