the problem seems to have something to do with having access to the
console you ran x from.  i don't use xdm, but normally i start x with the
following alias:

(startx >& .xsession-errors &) && sleep 3 && logout

when i do this, i get the same problem, since i no longer own the
console i logged in on.  when i just run startx normally, it works just
fine.
