No remaining package catched my eyewhen checking with pkg_info.

Did that.

BTW, there also had been two more files called

~/.Xauthority-c and
~/.Xauthority-l.

Deleted them too.

Did that, but still have to figure out what that actually 
does...

NT - in my $HOME.

Is there any other place I can have a look?

There was (and now is) a file called .serverauth.?????, that 
one I deleted too.

Result is that I now get the xterms (and xclock) every time 
I type "startx", but I still lack any frames/borders of a 
windowmanager like twm, fluxbox or blackbox.

I checked the $PATH and this seems to be ok (I found a 
little bug on my side there) and also using 
"/usr/pkg/bin/mentioned_windowmanager" no wm came up.

Trying using "startfluxbox" tells me:

"Error: Couldn't connect to the XServer"

Hmmm...

At least some progress.

Thanks for now, Bernd
