Why did you report this as a bug against xdm? What is it you think xdm is doing wrong, as opposed to wdm and sdm? 1) wdm's init script needs to respect /etc/X11/default-display-manager. 2) sdm will not show up if it does not implement the "Pax Displayicus Managerius", the protcol used by display managers' maintainer scripts and init scripts to ensure that they coexist peacefully. -- G.
