Message after installing

SDDM user's home directory have been moved to /var/lib/sddm. It is advised to run
following commands as root:
# pw usermod -n sddm -d /var/lib/sddm
# pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
# mv /usr/local/etc/sddm/home/state.conf /var/lib/sddm/state.conf
# rm -rf /usr/local/etc/sddm/home

SDDM lists a "user session" which needs either an .xinitrc in the user's
home directory, or as a fallback, xterm. In order to use the "user session"
feature, a ~/.xinitrc is recommended.
