Description Thomas van Kampen 2006-08-31 11:54:10 UTC 
Quoting default /etc/rc.conf on a fresh ~x86 installation:

...XSESSION stuff...
Defaults depending on what you install currently include:
..
# kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2)

But when I tried 'XSESSION="kde-3.5.4"' it failed to startx. So then I looked in /etc/X11/Sessions/:

$ ls -l /etc/X11/Sessions/
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2187 Aug 31 00:14 Xsession
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   41 Aug 31 01:20 kde-3.5

I changed it to say "kde-3.5" and KDE started on startx. It would recommend changing either one (or the help text or the Session filename).
