Yeah, this happened to me too. I guess it's a bug. Just do the following as root and let xdm restart
mkdir /var/lib/xdm mkdir /var/lib/xdm/authdir chmod 700 /var/lib/xdm/authdir mkdir /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles chmod 700 /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles You get the 'unsecure session' because xdm didn't run the xserver with auth control. This happens because it wants to use the aforementioned directories for the XAUTHORITY file it creates. The dirs don't exists so it can't do this and just turns off auth control. Someone should file a bug report.
