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
