No, they haven't. They're still in custom.conf, where they've been for some time. The buried settings discussed earlier apply to GDM, which has not itself been deprecated.

If I try the access the FC17 VM with "X -query ..." from the FC13 host
or the C6 VM, the machine switches desktop as expected and then displays
the circular mouse icon on a black screen and then the desktop freezes.
Cntl-Alt F1 or 2 etc then do nothing.

It sounds like the X server is crashing or locking up. Try this: Reset the machine running the X server. Possibly reset the F17 host as well, since it's complaining about too many sessions from your X server host. When you run X -query, capture data using strace:

strace -f -s 256 X -query ... > /var/tmp/xtrace.txt 2>&1

After the X server locks, cancel the trace with Ctrl+C. Don't send the file to the list, because it'll be large. I don't think it has any sensitive data in it, so maybe compress it and post it somewhere it can be retrieved (http://ge.tt ?) or send it to me. What we're looking for is output from glibc similar to what I included previously. It'll be on lines near the end which indicate calls to writev().
