I certainly do not intend to refute you, Kenneth, but I've been a subscriber since 2.1.5, and I've never (prior to 4.6) seen documention that said *something* to the effect that, as opposed to X11 3, you now have to install a "wrapper" if you want to startx X11 with startx rather than with xdm. There has been a change somehow. I just don't recall encountering the name xdm before.
