We have NCD 17C's, and I'm trying to set up XDM to work with them.  I
copied the suggestions from the xdm man pages and from the O'Reilly
book...and things are limping along.

Occasionally, if my terminal hangs or something weird happens, I
reboot w/out being able to kill everything.  The next time my XDM
login appears, and I log in, I get into this loop where I

	login;windows appear;disappear;get login screen again.

I end up having to go find errant processes to kill then start again.
It usually takes a few iterations to get everything.

Also, if I'd like to log off, is there an easier way to do it cleanly
than by killing windows one-by-one?

Changes to the xdm config files or to my .xsession file, or whatever?
