I've heard that some users forget to install X wrapper while
installing FreeBSD to a fresh PC. As a result, they can't run X
server with startx. When our X distribution was XFree86 3.x, there was
no problem with startx since X server has a suid bit -- for newbies,
current sysinstall breaks some compatibilities.
We can fix this by RUN_DEPENDS lines of ports/x11/XFree86-4/Makefile.
However, it makes another problem that "hey, XFree86-4 ports install X
wrapper which I don't used, no thankyou."
IMHO this problem can be treated as "problem while installing XFree86
via sysinstall," here is a patch to teach sysinstall to install the X
wrapper package after XFree86 package is installed.
Any comments and objections are welcome. If there is no objection,
I'll commit it later (maybe next week or so).
