Description Rogan 2002-03-12 13:06:56 UTC

When fluxbox installs, a pointer in /etc/X11/Sessions is not created.  This file
is the short name of the window-manager (eg. fluxbox or gnome) and contains one
line that 'points' to the location of the window-manager binary (eg.
/usr/bin/fluxbox).  This allows you to specify 'XSESSION=fluxbox' in
/etc/rc.conf.  It isn't necessary because X will search all bin directories, but
it would be nice to have it in case the binary ever moves.
