I think it wasn't as straight forward as init spawning too many xdm's. I think it might have been xdm that was doing the forking, probably due to some difference in the environment in which it was invoked (sigmask maybe?). If someone is really interested I can try to reproduce it and get some more info - but I think it is just safest to start it from rc.local. David.
