--- Comment #7 from Adriaan de Groot <adridg at freebsd.org> ---
In order to enable using the default xinit, which runs xterm, we would need to
add xinit and xterm to the dependencies of SDDM (because you could install
SDDM, plus xorg-server, and skip xorg-apps entirely).

I can imagine a slightly different setup, which depends on xmessage only; it
would check for .xinitrc in $HOME, the default xinit, and then fall back to
just xmessage. And a pkg-message: someone who hasn't installed xinit (and xterm
and twm) and still expects SDDM to magically do the right thing with undefined
user sessions can be expected to handle an xmessage.
