I cannot make xdm use some of the resources from its .../xdm/Xresources
file.  

The one I am interested in is  DisplayManager.0.terminateServer
because we want the server to restart completely when the user logs out.
I also tried to set DisplayManager.0.openDelay just to see if I 
could affect any of the DisplayManager resources, but it ignored it.

The funny thing is that I can use  
xdm ... -xrm "DisplayManager.0.terminateServer: true"  and it works fine.

The other resources, like color, border width etc. all work fine from the
resources file.

What's happening?
