In trying to get xdm to start, I get the following error message after logging
in:
       Session execution failed /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession

where Xsession is the session startup file pointed to by xdm-config in the xdm
directory. Yet when I execute Xsession directly after using xinit to startup X,
everything works correctly.

Any ideas, anyone?
