I ran into the same problem with xdm.  Keith Packard from the X Consortium
suggested puting the -Dultrix in the CcCmd line in site.def, but it also
makes sense to put it in ultrix.cf as you have done.

What other clients (or server code) need the -Dultrix flag?  I would hate to 
have to rebuild the whole tree as this takes about 14 hours on a vaxstation II.
