Ha - "xdm configuration files" memory flash ahead! :-) Go check them. They are located in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm. I have two modified files: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Mar 18 2008 Xresources@ -> /etc/X11/xdm/Xres= ources lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Mar 18 2008 xdm-config@ -> /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-= config (It's in /etc for custom lazyness, but you can make changes to the files in the original xdm directory if you want.) But I think you didn't change these files, so everything should still be the standard settings... so I need to say, this would not be the source of the problem... If I just knew how I solved the problem you're describing... I really had this once, and I think the solution was very simple, allthough it wasn't obvious, and maybe had nothing to do with X... After all, the obervation indicate that X isn't started correctly for xdm, but what surprises me is that X is started correctly from a regular user's account... Mysterious...
