Thanks for the pointers SEbastian :) I tried creating an xsession or .xsession file with those contents but they didn't work. Following your example, what I did instead was to create on the home dir the file .xinitrc with the following content: wmaker & /usr/local/bin/gpbs /usr/local/bin/gndc /usr/local/bin/make_services /usr/local/bin/GWorkspace
This enabled me to run X with the WindowMaker and automatically starting GWorkspace, with the effect that exits X11 when I Quit GWorkspace. Thank you very much. Now my next task is to run the installed apps when I ran the command: pkg_add gnustep-desktop Maybe you can further advise me on this. I'm very grateful. Thank you very much.
