Actually, this is not true. gdmflexiserver works fine with xdm. xdm in fact has explicit support for gdmflexiserver. I know because I've used it before. I've also launched it from the command line without either xdm or gdm running. Granted I don't know exactly how gdmflexiserver works, but it absolutely does not require gdm to be running to work. jamie.
