           Summary: xdm should depend on xsm for not returning to loging
                    screen just after login if no .xsession file

I installed from:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/14.0/FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-amd64-20211104-7ac82c96fe7-250453-disc1.iso.xz

After that I installed xdm (following section 5.6 of the handbook.

After rebooting, when I was logging with the right password, it would return
immediately to the logging screen with no apparent errors.

I discovered that the file:
/usr/local/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession have inside it:

f [ -s "$startup" ]; then
        if [ -x "$startup" ]; then
                exec "$startup"
        else
                exec /bin/sh "$startup"
        fi
else
        if [ -r "$resources" ]; then
                /usr/local/bin/xrdb -load "$resources"
        fi
        exec /usr/local/bin/xsm
fi

And so I needed to install X11/xsm (X session manager) with "pkg install
X11/xsm".

After doing so, and rebooted, I was able to boot with xdm... although the
environment I was put it surprised me a bit, but from there it did not took
look for me to edit .xsession to log in with my wanted desktop environment.
