We have no plans to do development work on xdm, so I am going to WONTFIX the xdm task. It's not a bad idea though, but I would suggest approaching upstream about it if you really want it. I suspect it was added to xdm as just a blanket "all dm's should support guest accounts", however xdm is designed to be pretty minimal and more of a working example rather than intended to be a full fledged manager.
