Description Ryan Grange 2003-03-09 19:23:07 UTC

This Python script is an alteration of Mandrakesoft's Xtart program.  It's very handy for 
trying out different desktop environments from the command line or bypass the need 
to wait for kdm/gdm/xdm to start before logging in.  You can login at the CLI and then 
fire up the desktop of your choice.

Does this perform the same function as editing XSESSION in /etc/rc.conf?
Sounds like it from your description.
