I installled FreeBSD a week and a half ago.  I got the Xwindows to work  - 
xdm, etc.  It works fine.  I elminated the xconsole startup and would like to 
eliminate the xterm -ls call that appears to be required by xdm (Xwindows) 
won't start without the an xterm -ls).  The xterm -ls duplicates the function 
of the OLWM menu in that there is an exit on the menu that takes you back to 
xlogin as does an exit from the xterm -ls window.  I have scoured the man 
pages and have been unable to find a switch that I can use to turn off the 
xterm -ls requirement.
