--- Comment #10 from Doug Denault <doug at safeport.com> ---
I have a patch from a guy named Fred in  /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc for
xfce 4.12 installed Tue Apr 12 20:28:52 EDT via pkg. This change is
incorporated in xfce 4.12 installed Fri Sep  2 01:14:35 2016 EDT. xorg
xorg-7.7_2, xdm 1.1.11_3, and xfce 4.12_1 are the same levels but clearly xfce
is not exactly the same as xinitrc is different.

In FreeBSD 10.1 logging in and out works. Console switching (ctrl+alt+f1) does
not. In FreeBSD 10.3 the first login after a reboot starting xfce from
/etc/ttys always works. Subsequent logins fail. Starting xdm manually produces
random results but generally the first login works. My.xsession file in 10.1 is
'/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/bin/startxfce4' in 10.3
'/usr/local/bin/startxfce4' because I get an error saying ssh-agent is already
running. Both are sh scripts.

The error in .xsessions-errors:

   /usr/local/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
   XDM authorization key matches an existing client!xfce4-session: Cannot
   open display: . Type 'xfce4-session --help' for usage.

I am not running hald or dbusd in either system. I am happy to test fixes
and/or provide any additional information. The 10.3 is an out-of-the-box system
and fails reliably. Unless this is a timing issue it should be easy to produce.
This may be FreeBSD only error as I can not find anything from the last few
months on this. I do not see anything useful in the logs but that probably way
beyond I knowledge
