I've experienced the same problem, and I have the resources in the xdm-config
file.

The problem that Dinah and I have experienced is one with resources incorrectly
loaded when the server is foreign.  I'm not sure whether this problem is fixed
with fix-2, but I spend 2 days last week working on this one, and if the patch
doesn't correct it, then I have a fix that does.  I sent some mail off to xbugs,

but I got no response, so I guess either you guys are swamped, or I sent it to 
the wrong place.  Anyway, there is at least 1 other bug in xdm, the password
problem that I thought was fixed some time ago.
