Default OpenBSD xfce4

Hi to all. I just compile xfce4 and xdm on my openbsd box (4.4). So my question is how I can run it on boot time as my default window manager because I want starting BSD with GUI? I have been try to put startxfce4 in .xinitrc and then edit rc.conf (xdm_flags=YES) but this do not work

Thanks in advance.

To start xdm on the boot
Code:
echo "xdm_flags=    " /etc/rc.conf.local
To start xfce4 as your default WM you have to edit ~/.xsession as

Code:
#! /usr/bin
exec xfce4
.xinitrc is used when you start X server with startx!

Double whammy Oko?

He meant you have to put xdm_flags= into /etc/rc.conf.local, and a window manager invocation in a ~/.xsession shell script.

For xdm: post the contents of your /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local files. We're interested in the value of xdm_flags.

For XFCE: post the contents ofthe user's .xsession file. We're interested in seeing if you have the file, and what's in it.
