 Well, then what about adding additional checkbox with the comment like
 
 [ ] xwrapper	Needed for startx script, not with xdm
 
 Furthermore, another checkbox may be added to enable xdm, with the

 And auto-comment xdm line in /etc/ttys if it is checked, and uncomment
 otherwise.
 
 I suppose it is more consistent.
