That is a very bad advise imo. rc.d scripts are started by root and unless
the daemons started drop privileges, you will be running X as root, which
is not something you want to persue. Additionally; there are far better
alternatives then using these kind of solutions.
That said; Thanks for the willingness to help someone out! It is really
appriciated and shows the power of the FreeBSD Community!
Cheers,
