    I recently installed FreeBSD 5.3 BETA2 which has since been upgraded to 5.3
    BETA3. I also installed Xorg from /stand/sysinstall (not from the ports)
    and then KDE 3.3 from the ports.

    When I launch kdm and log in, Xorg ignores my .xsession or .xinitrc files
    (whichever I have created) and loads only an xterm window (with no window
    management around it.) I need to type 'startkde' in this window to
    actually kick KDE off and get it initiated, and upon closing this window
    Xorg terminates itself.

    As a result now, whenever I log in I need to manually type 'startkde' and
    then keep this xterm window open on another desktop somewhere out of the
    way. This happens both through kdm and initiating 'startx' from the
    command line.

    I have made my .xsession file mode 755 for good measure and also tried both
    just 'startkde' and '/usr/local/bin/startkde'. No difference.

    Has anyone else experienced any problems of a similar nature? Does anyone
    have any possible fixes?

    $ cat .xsession
    /usr/local/bin/startkde

    $ pkg_info | grep xorg
