Thanks for the effort!!!!
It may be the version that I have. I downloaded version 5.3 a two or three months ago. I may have a testing version of 5.3. I'm not sure. I'll download a new image some other time.

Any editing that I try to do beyond the Xorg -configure leads to 'User"^^^ This should be ~/.xsession, not -/.xsession

".xinitrc" and ".xsession" and nothing showed up. I read in the FreeBSD
handbook about creating ".xsessions". Following the exact directions
listed, I got no such file or directory after:
echo "#!/bin/sh" > -/.xsession
Ok I tried a setup on one of my machines to verify if gnome+xdm works:
Log-in as user and do: > echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/.xsession

Log in as root and do:
# ee /etc/ttys
change ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure to ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
Reboot the machine: * Xdm login-screen shows up.
* Log-in as user.
* The Gnome desktop should start up.
Took me 1 minute and gnome was up and running. I'm using 5.3-STABLE #0: Mon Nov 1 06:38:37 CET / xorg-clients-6.7.0_4 / gnome-session-2.6.2.
This was version 5.3
Xorg is brand new, and there only seems to be a few lines of
documentation concerning it. I'm new to this whole thing, and having a
difficult time making sense of many things in the UNIX world. There is
more documentation about version 5.2.1 then 5.3. I'm in the process of
removing 5.3 and putting 5.2.1 back on here. And I think that I'll keep
XFree86 on it.
If things don't work show us your logs and config-files:
~/.xsession-errors /var/log/0.log /var/log/Xorg.0.log xorg.conf ~/.xsession /etc/ttys
