Just wondering if the package system > guys can change this up? :-) It is already fixed in -current. I've also just added an xfce4.desktop file to xfce4-session package, now it's provided by default.

As stated in this archive post: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2007-11/0662.html If you install gdm from the package system, by default makes the file "Xsession" in /etc/X11/gdm non executable.
