Very helpful!  Unfortunately it misses one thing.  The article tells
you to add a line in /etc/rc.local, which doesn't seem to exist on
4.3-STABLE.  For the final detail on getting xdm to start, look at the
manual at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html
Particularly section 12.5.2.  There is one field on one line that must
change from 'off' to 'on'.
