Subject:   XDM cannot start desktop after Xorg upgrade

I've been using XDM as login manager for years. Since the latest Xorg 
upgrade, XDM cannot start XFCE4 as it used to.

What happens is that after I've given my password and hit enter, the 
screen goes black and after a while it returns to the XDM log in dialogue.

I've attached the users .xsession-errors and the system xdm.log

Disabling XDM and starting X manually works.

Of and on logging in via XDM works but there's no pattern to when it 
does and does not.

Thanks

/Leslie
