"xdm" was not supposed to be on the SR10.2 release tapes, according
to my sources. It's not supported, and is known to hang nodes. There
are far too many applications that use DM functions (anything with a
PAD_$ call in it), including probably DDE, to completely get rid of
the DM. Run your system using the DM + X owning the root as described
in the X manual.
