RE: XDM

[Rouyre Frédéric <Frederic dot Rouyre at osl dot be>]

Simply login into the NT box from another station (running another X server)
or from my station (a graphical telnet :-)). For now, the test that I do
simply offer a login screen that logs no one (xdm runs under my account, but
this is a first step). But it doesn't work. After the Verify(...) call, it
tries to close the login window and the X server disappear with exit code 0
(and now the .Xauthority file is filled in). When my Xsession file is run, I
got _X11Trans... error (due to the fact that the X server has exited).
