Icon file for the desktop entry

The DeforaOS ports/packages do not appear to have an XDG session entry or a single script/binary for starting up the desktop. This prevents it from being accessible from a graphical login manager for end-users. I am not sure if this should be added to the x11/deforaos-desktop (meta package), or the x11/deforaos-browser port (since that one actually installs the "desktop" binary).

I am attaching a couple possible files to fix this issue:
1) A "startdeforaos" script for launching all the necessary pieces of the DE (to be placed in /usr/local/bin).
  Note: This script only starts the desktop/panel at the moment - it seem like DeforaOS still needs a window manager? 

2) An icon for the DE: "deforaos.png" (to be placed in /usr/local/share/pixmaps)
3) An XDG session entry: deforaos.desktop (to be placed in /usr/local/share/xsessions)


Just in case the text files do not get attached properly - here are the contents of the plain text files:

[file /usr/local/bin/startdeforaos]
#!/bin/sh

#start up the panel (required for graphical logout options)
panel &

#start up the WM (does it have one?)

#Now start the main desktop session
desktop

Ping olivier@.
Comment 4 Olivier Cochard freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-02-29 08:10:10 UTC
I'm still working one (my laptop was not able to boot FreeBSD since 10.1, I had to found another one).
Comment 5 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2018-01-13 06:10:44 UTC
Is this still relevant?
Comment 6 Olivier Cochard freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-13 15:00:08 UTC
Yes it stills relevant (shame on me).
Comment 7 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2019-09-06 20:03:48 UTC
ping again!
Comment 8 Rene Ladan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-06-18 18:55:19 UTC
I'm closing this PR as there hasn't been any activity in four years and x11/deforaos-panel which this port needs expired today after being broken for over two years.
